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.
