FALL ALBUM ROUNDUP : In Brief
- Share via
* 1/2 Michael Bolton “Greatest Hits 1985-1995,” Columbia . In addition to original Bolton chestnuts and a couple of those shamelessly tacky treatments of R&B; classics, this collection includes five new tracks. Three are predictably drippy ballads, but the others at least amuse: “Can I Touch You . . . There?” sounds like Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” reworked by a bar mitzvah band, while on his version of “I Found Someone,” Bolton carries off the impossible task of out-schmaltzing Cher, who performed the original.
New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
