Free Music Notes for Inside Out
Free Music Review: great sexy album
Hit: 5 Stars
I got a copy of this album on a whim. Part of me dreaded that he'd end up sounding ..... to be blunt....a little fey. Couldn't be further from the truth. His voice is rich and sexy. A country-style tone pervades and just adds to the overall effect. What started as a whim has become a regular in our cd tray. I so hope that he records again. His version of Son of a Preacher man is the sexiest that I have heardFree Music Review: Cam does them better then the originals!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Cam longer then I can remember, so after following his voice acting career for so long it doesn't surprise me that he put out such a good CD. I honestly thought that he sung these, for the most part, better then the originals. Even though it's sung from a gay perspective, and that im not, he doesn't go over board with the gender's. I would defiantly recommend this CD, straight or gay, you defiantly wont be disappointed!Free Music Review: Cam Clarke can sing!!!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I found that I wasn't the only who loved Cam Clarke (as a voice actor) since the days of Robotech. I never knew he could sing. I always wondered about that. (Just for the record and so no one makes this mistake again: in response to anharmyenone's statement, Cam Clarke NEVER sang a song on Robotech. Michael Bradley was the singing voice of Lancer/Yellow Dancer.)Just hearing how different his voice is from singing and acting is surprising. His songs incorporate his rich, deep tones and that soothing country flavor. Plus, it gives a surprising twist to his cover songs that you could enjoy. And some songs give "gay pride" to those who feel the norms of society prevent these kinds of songs from getting airplay.
Free Music Review: Relaxing and pleasurable
Hit: 4 Stars
Accept first that this is an album of covers from someone who's a singer and no more. Then enjoy.Some of the songs here are a little obscure, but you'll know most of 'em, and Cam has chosen pretty well. He hasn't gone overboard with the gender-swapping, so thankfully it doesn't seem like it was the whole point of the project. But it's there, and it's nice to hear him sing "Something in the way he moves", and others, where the object of the song is a man.
I have to say that you soon get used to that though, and happily, this remains an attractive album when you do. Cam's voice is central to this, and he's got a warm, smoky, deep voice and a nice sense of phrasing that's very masculine, and soothing at the same time.
One or two of the songs (like "Jesse") sound cloying and too sentimental, but in general there's a good mixture. If "I Will Survive" seems like it's far too corny to be on here, have a listen, because it's not the version you'll be used to. In many ways, it's my favourite track because he's had to do something entirely different with it.
Okay, it's not the greatest work of art, but there will be times when it fits the bill. Play it to your unsuspecting straight friends and watch their faces!
Free Music Review: This popular cartoon voice actor can sing very well!
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Cam Clarke (a.k.a. Jimmy Flinders) ever since I heard his voice as Max Sterling and Lancer in the 1980s robot cartoon "Robotech". The Lancer character was a transvestite rock star (though straight) and actually sang several songs in the cartoon. (Yes, it was a groundbreaking cartoon!) He then went on to voice Leonardo in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and a bunch of other cartoons and voiceovers for TV commercials. His speaking voice is great, and so is his singing voice. You can actually still get the Robotech soundtrack CD with several songs sung by him in a 1980's techno style, but his voice has improved a lot in this CD. I get a kick out of people's reactions to this CD and they wonder why I would be listening to it since I'm straight, but it's just a really great CD and I get to tell them about Robotech too. I hope he puts out more CDs.
