    Beautiful Love Ballads Song By the Most Beautiful Voice

    I love every song on this CD, some more than others, but all of them. Clay breathes new live into all of the covers and introduces the new songs in a way that makes me never want to forget them. The CD is called A Thousand Different Ways because these songs don't only speak of romantic love. Clay is the best thing to happen to the music industry in years.

    auditory bliss

    I find nothing offensive or that I wouldn't want my kids to hear. Some of the songs are a bit dated, but the arrangements are for the most part new and fresh. As for the voice, none better. Close your eyes and enjoy.
