Customer Reviews:

one of my best cd [Posted on 2004-12-21]
I bought Paul Brandt's Calm Before The Storm six years ago, and believe it or not, I still play this CD almost everyday, providing that I have some other 1,500 country CD to choose from. The first time I heard his deep, sultry voice, I felt like ' oh my god, this must be my most favorite CD EVER, and I was right. Apart from his singing talent, he also possesses perfect writing skill, as you can hear from the title track 'Calm Before The Storm'. There was no filler song on the entire album; all song was great. The only weak point for this CD, as far as I can tell, is that it stays too long in my CD player, and I have little time to listen to my other CD!!!

Favorite Singer, Songwriter, and CD! [Posted on 2007-01-17]
I don't see how anyone could go wrong with this CD. It has a great variety of songs, all with catchy beat, and good, meaningful, lyrics.
My all time favorite is My Heart Has a History. Paul's range is amazing.
I agree, he is underrated, and underplayed.

Surprisingly Good Album [Posted on 2007-02-20]
This album wasn't as popular as it could have been. With good ballads and a little twang as well, it had enough balance to climb higher in the charts. But, if you're looking for an album that has some mellow tracks to sip a beer to, while adding a little change of pace with the more "twangy" tracks... this might be one you stick into your CD player. "I Do" is a nice romantic ballad, as is "On The Inside", and "I Meant To Do That" is a mellow track with a bit of a sad twist. "My Heart Has A History" is a catchy tune as well, hitting the charts back then.

excellent [Posted on 2007-04-14]
Very few CD's are worth their full price value but this is certainly one of them. Anytime I buy a CD and can just leave it playing while I do... whatever, and not feel the need to jump over and hit "skip" every other song, I am indeed grateful. I can do that with this one! Sure, I have my favorites - My Heart Has a History (also a very good video on CMT!), I Do (which I plan to have played at my next wedding, if I ever re-marry!), I Meant to Do That - almost painful to listen to but haunting...Some real good tunes and Brandt is simply adorable to look at! Nice deep voice, good writing - give this humble Canadian boy a chance!

Simply Wonderful! [Posted on 2008-01-25]
I have owned this CD since it came out what, 10 years or so ago...I think I bought it when I was still in high school! It has been one of my favorites for a long time and I am not even much of a country fan anymore. I like alot of the 90s country but not recent stuff. All the songs on this CD are great! I never feel the need to skip any of them. My favorites are My Heart Has a History, I Do (which I sang in my own wedding in 2006) and I Meant to Do That. I really like Paul Brandt's voice...it seems so pure and genuine. All of the songs are well written and have catchy tunes. I wish he was more popular in the USA, I am planning to try to get some of his imported albums since this is the only one I have and I haven't really followed his career all these years. In my opinion, his talent surpasses the likes of the big male country stars of this day, which I don't even pay much attention to anymore because I think country music has degenerated over the past decade.
