Summary: For all the soul
Comment: While slightly more mainstream with his hit single "1973," (the only song repeated listening jars a nerve on), All the Lost Souls is another excellent release by James Blunt. His unusual voice and original lyrics makes this a must for any CD collection.

Summary: 4-1/2 stars -- The ultimate high
Comment: James Blunt pretty much came out of nowhere back in 2005. Although his first single "High" didn't really do much chart-wise (well, in the U.S., anyway), "You're Beautiful" was so tremendous that I don't think I have to remind anyone of its popularity. And although the rest of Back to Bedlam was great, "You're Beautiful" is still the only hit single James has seen thus far. Fortunately, All the Lost Souls proves that he's not just a one-trick pony.
I'm surprised that a lot of people are calling this album dark; in fact, the only song I can see that really gets down to that level is possibly "Same Mistake". But speaking of the same mistake, the only really "fast" track on Back to Bedlam was a song called "Out of My Mind", and I didn't care for it, but fortunately James figured things out and made songs like that work this time around, as evidenced by "Give Me Some Love".
Other notable selections include the first two tracks ("1973" and "One of the Brightest Stars"), as well as his latest single, "Carry You Home". But the acoustic (and shorter) version of "1973" at the end of the album is really unnecessary because it doesn't sound any different from the original version (and aren't all of James' songs pretty acoustic anyway?). It's not too late to pick up All the Lost Souls, so go to the record store and do just that.

Summary: Oh His Voice...Beautiful
Comment: I have his last CD and play it over and over and was not even aware he had a new CD out until watching Dancing With The Stars last night where the guest professionals danced to his live performance singing "Carry You Home" and this gave me instant goosebumps....made me cry watching them dance to this perfect song to their movements. He has an amazing and unusual voice...had to run out and purchase this new CD this morning and can't stop playing it. Love it!

Summary: James Blunt All the Lost Souls CD
Comment: This CD is more than I expected, although it did come with the outside casing cracked. The CD itself seems to be fine, though.

Summary: James Blunt is a Must Have
Comment:
I first saw James Blunt on a TV show and just loved his sound. I'm a grandmother who does not listen to the newest songs on the radio so I hadn't heard his biggest hit, Beautiful, before and so he was a new voice to me. I bought the CD he was talking about on the show I saw and absolutely love it. My grandkids think I'm cool that I own a James Blunt CD, so it's a win win. His voice is very different from the "norm", whatever that may be, but it's soothing and very lovely. Give it a try.

In 2005, James Blunt was everybody's favorite overnight success story. In 2007, he's the guy who's making rock meaningful again. All the Lost Souls,, the sophomore effort from the Brit responsible for restoring the seriousness of "beautiful" as a compliment, brims with big build-ups, epic-sounding ballads, and lyrics to lose yourself in. The vibe, laid out neatly on first single and opening track "1973," is clear-eyed and heavy-hearted; in anybody over 35, it'll produce nostalgia tempered by hopefulness--here's a set that suggests rock has got its head screwed on straight again, that the path to real feelings need not necessarily be led by Norah Jones. In anybody younger, it'll cause the unsinkable suspicion that a lot of modern balladeers should be digging deeper. But in both cases it will satisfy. Compared with David Gray and Damien Rice last time out, this time Blunt seems to owe a debt to Barry Gibb--his voice quavers as sweetly and with the same delicate reach. Stand-outs on a brief but dud-less set include "I Really Want You," in which the sound of Blunt's breaking heart is set sparely and elegantly to something approximating the chirp of a cricket, the poignant and desperate "Give Me Some Love", and the VH-1 ready "Same Mistakes." -Tammy La Gorce
