"Granted I may be considered biased, but I wish to say that this is a fantastic collection of John Bockelman's best. It runs the gamut from blues, rock and classical to love songs, novelties and much more. Its power is inherent in the wide variety of unique styles represented. If you don't want the same sound from track to track you won't be disappointed. I'd also like to point out that the 'Fury' disc contains John's original 'Titanic', which predated the recent film by several years. None of that wimpy, 'My Heart Will Go On' baloney here. Better than anything before or since, John's 'Titanic' musically memorializes the full force of the tragedy when so many lost their lives at sea. Again, he did this while the movie was but a twinkle in James Cameron's eye."
