Post Description

Actor Don Johnson was riding high on the massive success of his television series Miami Vice when he turned to pop music, making his debut with the LP Heartbeat in 1986. Scoring a Top Five smash with the title track, he also enjoyed success with the lavish full-length Heartbeat video, an extended narrative release co-starring Late Night with David Letterman sidekick and musical director Paul Shaffer. Although Johnson's music career ground to a halt with the commercial failure of 1989's Let It Roll, he remained in the spotlight in the years to follow, later starring in the cop series Nash Bridges."The Essential" Don Johnson might be stretching it. Still, Johnson's two albums had their merits, particularly Heartbeat, his debut. Of the 16 cuts on this set, nine of the ten original tracks from Heartbeat are included here. Of the tracks that come from Let It Roll, only the best make the cut, such as Johnson's versions of "Tell It Like It Is," "Your Love Is Safe With Me," "Heartache Away," etc. Johnson was smart about his singing career. He enlisted help form major-league songwriters like Bob Seger ("Star Tonight") and Tom Petty ("Lost in Your Eyes"), and of course his biggest hit, "Heartbeat," was written by Eric Kaz and Wendy Waldman. Throughout this collection there are surprises, and Johnson's voice is steady, rock-solid even. The material isn't always great, but it is never less that reliably sound pop/rock played by a host of aces, with guest stars including Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ron Wood.Tracklist:1 Tell It Like It Is 4:32 2 Voice on a Hotline 4:00 3 Heartbeat 4:19 4 Other People's Lives 5:26 5 Heartache Away 4:50 6 What if It Takes All Night 4:07 7 Can't Take Your Memory 4:29 8 Angel City 4:23 9 Star Tonight 2:54 10 Lost in Your Eyes 4:30 11 Coco Don't 3:31 12 Gotta Get Away 4:25 13 Your Love Is Safe With Me 4:25 14 Lonely Too Long 4:23 15 The Last Sound Love Makes 4:27 16 A Better Place 5:21
