REVIEW/AMG
Keith Pettipas
Winnipeg native, Burton Cummings is perhaps best known from his days as the lead singer/songwriter for the legendary Guess Who. From his days with The Guess Who to his successful solo career, Cummings has managed to make himself something of a Canadian icon. Now, for the first time, his third solo recording and most commercially successful album, "Dream Of A Child", is available in newly remastered version. This solo album, originally released on the Portrait label in 1978, was the first to be produced by Cummings himself and featured the hits, "Break It To Them Gently" and " I Will Play A Rhapsody." The album also contains Cummings interpretations of the classic Sam & Dave hit "Hold On I'm Coming" and Percy Sledge's "When A Man Loves A Woman." "Dream Of A Child" sold triple platinum status in Canada and remains Cummings most popular and best selling U.S. release. The album was remastered by legendary engineer, Bill Inglot and contains two new bonus tracks, from Cummings extensive library, which were not included on the original release. All original artwork has been fully restored, and new liner notes, written by Burton himself, and all of the songs lyrics accompany this remastered version of the album.
