Michael Bolton – Greatest Hits 1985-1995 (1995) [Reissue 2001] {SACD ISO + FLAC 24bit/88,2kHz}

Known for a terrifying rendition of Otis Redding’s hit “(Sittin’ On The) Dock of the Bay” (among others), Michael Bolton tears up every classic soul tune he can get his hands on. Ray Charles’ “Georgia on My Mind” and Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman” take on completely new meanings in the hands of this former hard rock singer. This 17-cut retrospective includes all the songs that catapulted him to mega-stardom and plenty of others that show him as just another sincere fool for love (“I Promise You” and “I Found Someone”). Just as Meatloaf turned up the juice on the histrionics of Bruce Springsteen, Bolton takes the soul singer out of the smoky nightclub and into the hockey arena for the whole world to hear.
