 bleck!!! October 11, 2009

Very hokey... Poor mixing, no cohesiveness between tracks. Simply a bad idea from start to finish!

There are two groups of people who will diss this work: 1) the people who will remember the Partridge Family and think "OMG, David Cassidy is soooo 70's" and the Partridge Family fans still living in the past who expect to hear the songs as they were song 30 years ago (so why not just buy one of their older albums?). But honestly, if you didn't know this was David Cassidy and you just popped it in and started playing it, you would be playing it over and over (as I've done for my niece and nephew who were born after the Partridge Family was long gone from TV). The I Think I Love You remix is definitely club-worthy. It's a shame he still has the curse of being a 70's teenage idol on him because this is a collection mainstream music would otherwise embrace as I have.

As a longtime, avid Partridge Family fan (I grew up with the show back in the early 1970s), I was aghast when I sampled tracks from this CD. At the very least, the original recordings could have been used...but here they have been re-recorded, and the magic is gone. Songs such as "Point Me in the Direction of Albuquerque" do not at all lend themselves to this treatment and, like this disc's other tracks, are downright embarrassing.
Buy the original albums, which are fantastic.

On first listen it would be easy to dismiss this CD. Some Cassidy purists may possibly do so - but you HAVE to listen in entirety to really get it.
This is Cassidy/Partridge material brought right up to date with remixes by Craig J - who has done some awesome remixes for the likes of Madonna, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani and Mariah Carey. And he has done a highly credible job with Mr Cassidy.
This is a feel good, "get on your feet and dance" retake of David Cassidy's material. The first thing that is evident is that David's voice, always magnificent, shines through. The man can really sing!! The production quality of the remixes is also fabulous. One can almost imagine that if The Partridge Family were starting out today - this is the sound they would have been given.
The songs - highly melodic - sound very contemporary. What Craig J has done is take the material and do unfamiliar arrangements to songs that are very familiar. The Partridge songs stand up very well and I especially enjoyed "I Think I Love You", "I Can Feel Your Heartbeat"", "I Woke Up In Love This Morning" and "Echo Valley 2-6809".
But it's David Cassidy's solo retakes that really do it for me. "Rock Me Baby", "Could It Be Forever" and "Ricky's Tune" are terrific. But the absolute stand out track is "Cherish". In my humble opinion, this track has Top 40 HIT written all over it!!
I know that some of David's fans would prefer some new material and completion of the Cassidy/Partridge back catalogue. I understand that and wouldn't mind that myself at all. For some too, the criticism may be about what the songs lose in passion by upping the tempos. My response to that, however, is that (a) the songs still communicate extremely well and (b) they are readily available in their original form.
As a long standing Cassidy devotee - I am REALLY happy to have this CD in my collection. It's fresh, new, uplifting, fun, slick and contemporary. And you just can't go past David Cassidy's voice!
If you're interested in hearing the original recordings, buy Could It Be Forever... The Greatest Hits. It's a wonderful retrospective of David's 70s career. But buy this CD too and enjoy it for the experience I'm sure David and Craig J intend it to be. You won't regret it.
