Music Review: Simply Red: Farewell: Live In Concert At Sydney Opera House
Simply Red, croons his way through fan favorites such as "Holding Back the Years" and "Your Mirror," as well as cover versions of Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes' "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and The Stylistics' "You Make Me Feel Brand New". The concert sounds fine and looks great. Hucknall smiles his way through the songs that have made him a success. Unfortunately the performance fails to be more than workmanlike.That said, Simply Red fans will be delighted with this set, especially the DVD, which is the full 20-song concert plus a lengthy interview in which Hucknall talks about new material he's been working on, as he moves along with his career.
