An extraordinary voice.

One of Cliff's best albums and that's saying a lot! Throughout this album, Cliff and songwriter/producer Alan Tarney capitalize on gorgeous hooks, fantastic mixes - a superb blend of guitar and synthesizer - and brilliant songs! Cliff sustains throughout rich, creamy, aching vocals - powerful, lingering, perfectly rounded high-pitched and intense. Cliff sounds so lush when he sings high. Zestful, exuberant and intense, Cliff varies from vibrant ("Give A Little Bit More") to lush and gorgeous ("A Little In Love", "Here (So Doggone Blue)" to aching and passionnate ("Dreamin'", "Anything That I Can Do") to heart-wrenching ("A Heart Will Break"...Cliff sounds gruff and husky in this one...wonderful) and even haunting ("In The Night", "Everyman"- you won't believe the fabulous groaning and wailing noises he makes in this one....oooooh. The title track, "I'm No Hero" is just a stunner with strong hits of rock and roll/rockabilly - a real classic. The vocal quality Cliff sustains throughout this album is utterly staggering. You just don't find the harsh sounds and poor-quality notes that often blight the songs of today's chart artists. NO! This is consistent! AND...all the instrumentalists are classy. Alan Tarney (who basically wrote practically all of this) really could get the most out of Cliff vocally. The bonus tracks are also stunning. Although purists might not see the re-working of 1959 R&R classic "Dynamite" with a very synthy eighties sound, that voice is so oily and sensual it could make you want to swoon. "Keep On Looking", has the same perfect, sophisticated, catchy high-pitched sound. Buy this and see for yourself just HOW good Cliff is and if you get the chance, go and see him live as he is utterly sensational!

Cliff at his best!

I've never heard a better album by Cliff than this one. A few years ago I started looking for it on CD, but was told it was out of print, and felt very disappointed. So when I saw that it has been re-released, I just had to have it. Please get this one--it's a classic!
