Review of The Tony Rich Project : Birdseye You have to love any guy who compares the loss of a loved one to acid reflux, especially when that guy is supposed to be some kind of love man. Now, to be sure, Tony Rich's sophomore CD is filled with songs all about, surprise, sex, and love. But the low-key Lothario works his love jones with cleverness and lyrical twists and turns. Even at his most metaphoric (what is a "bed of the heart"?), Rich still can pull hooks, choruses, and off-the-beaten-path imagery out of his trick bag. Rich creates lilting love songs about the act of not killing oneself ("No Time Soon," which features slide guitar from Eric Clapton) and delivers the finger-popping title track, wherein the object of desire is described as "having Halle's eyes." Even with generic missteps such as "Cool Like That," Rich here takes a giant leap forward into the ranks of Real Songwriters. Too bad he can't claim to make the same moves when it comes to his vocals. Once tagged as just a (gifted) Babyface wannabe, Rich has upped the ante by adding Prince's dulcet tones to his pantheon of musical mimicry. Now, I guess you can't help sounding the way you do, but couldn't Rich could try to alter his phrasing just a little? Because as skilled as he is, he's still sort of faceless, and you never get to know just who the guy who writes the songs really is.

Your latest reviews - The Tony Rich Project : Tony Rich, the little known but much loved singer.
I have always loved the song "Nobody Knows", but for a long time I didn't know who sung it. I dicided one day that I was determined to find out. So I went to my local Barnes and Noble, and looked up the song on one of their machines that will let you look up any artist, album or song. I found out that Tony Rich was singer, and I just ordered a different cd then this one, but this one is fine as well, I think I ordered a best of collection. I think that Tony Rich is great lyrist. I have found a lot of comfort in this song because I just had a falling out with a friend that I'd had for 12 and a half years. This song describes perfectly how I feel. When I first stopped talking or seeing him, I heard this song on the radio, and I just started sing along to it. This is truly a great song for people going through tough times in their lives.
Again a fine song, a fine artist, and a fine collection of his work.
