U: U2

U2's Rattle And Hum album is a mix of studio and live performances, from a tour of the US. This is another CD that I find difficult to simply sit and listen to. It's the kind of music that makes you (or me) want to dance.

The largest problem? I can't. Dance, that is. Not to save my life. My Mother was most disappointed.

But I can sing - and I do.

The music, let alone the performances, is a mixture. "When Love Comes To Town" is sung with B.B. King. If you like blues - and how could you not? - this is a song you'll enjoy.

 The funny thing is, this is a song written by an Irish rock band. And it's a B.B. King song.

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was on a previous album. But it was picked up by a Gospel Choir in Harlem - and what unfolds is pure magic. It doesn't hurt that I love gospel.
