Sting Brand New Day Rock Music CD Review

Brand New Day is the latest release from Rock Artist Sting, and is another great one from this talented musician.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

Rock music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Dennis Collins and Ken Williams plus a few other notables as well.

If you’re a Sting fan, or just a fan of Rock music this is a CD your collection simply should not be without.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Big Lie, Small World, track 7 - Prelude To The End Of The Game, and track 10 - Brand New Day

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - A Thousand Years. Great track!
