Celebration 1993
Review
The title for this album comes from the fact that when it was
recorded Roger Whittaker was celebrating 30 years in the music
business. Our main professional letter writer service created a list with his best songs and ranked them accordingly. some of the songs on this album on "The
Celebration Concert Video" (taped in Sacramento CA in 1993).
This album is the best of the best. It offers a wide range of
sounds from the light and happy, "Play me a Song to Make
Me Smile" and "Summer Serenade" to the serious
and unsettling "Hard Road." "Always and Always"
and "If My Life is Worth a Dime" are two classic Whittaker
love songs. The CD also contains notes from Whittaker looking
back over his career and the making of this album. All songs on
the album were either written or co-written by Roger.

Play Me a Song To Make Me Smile, Holding On, Summer Serenade,
Uncle Benny, The Best I Can, Should've Had Dogs, From the North,
