This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)
Would I like this CD as much if I didn't know the context, that Chris Perez was Selena's husband? Probably not. Without that context Resurrection is effective arena rock -- think Spanish language Bryan Adams-type hooks and vocals, with a little bit of Allman Brothers thrown in here and there. The intro to the first -- and probably weakest -- cut, Resurrection, is truly cheesy and annoying. Things pick up rapidly from there, however. Knowing the Selena tragedy, the best of these songs, both Spanish and English, are not solely what they seem, tales of breakup and yearning sung to a woman leaving; they become Perez's final farewell to Selena, whose death was so inexplicably senseless. Porque Te Fuiste does that double meaning perfectly, as do Noches en Vela, Another Day, and the quietly beautiful hidden track (you need to wait a couple minutes). All this gives the CD a resiliant and unexpected depth beyond its tuneful hooky rock. As another bonus, two wonderful songs -- Shelter (also check out Maria McKee's version of this song) and Alone Again, Or (ditto Love's version from years ago) -- get a Spanish version along with the English at separate points in the album. Easy to get this CD very inexpensively and well worth the effort.

very good cd !!!,
This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)
Chris Perez is talented , we know it. Some say that Resurrection rocks, that's true, but when some say that it's not a sad album, I do say that "The best I can" made me cry a lot; everytime i listen to i I think of Salinas. The song is very emotional, but i advice to everyone who likes rock music, to buy that cd, it really ROCKS!!!

Most overlooked CD of 1999,
By Donny Reed (San Jose, CA (transplanted from Dallas, Texas)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Resurrection (Audio CD)
I am writing this on May 27, 2003 after having this CD since the week it was released in the summer of 1999 and I still enjoy it very much. I don't understand how Hollywood records could have overlooked this latin rock gem of an album. In today's music world where most albums contain one or two good songs padded with 10 to 15 filler ones, this CD is indeed a "Resurrection" of times when an album was often good all the way through. While my knowledge of espanol needs polishing, it doesn't matter with this CD. Every song is great and is well put together.Chris shows us that his talent ranks up there with many of the great guitarists of the past 30 years. What prompted me to write this is that I recommended this CD to several co-horts and they have been unable to find it. So I went on-line and indeed discovered that it is nearly impossible to find. I can't believe that in a mere 4 years since its release, this great piece of work is unavailable. As I said before, what was Hollywood Records thinking? I play this CD in my office frequently and nearly everyone comments that it sounds great and they want to know who it is so they can get it. His new CD "Una Noche Mas" is good, but I am afraid that many who bought "Resurrection" for what it was , Rock en Espanol, will be dissapointed because it is basically an out and out Tejano album containing cumbias and rancheras. I like Tejano myself, but others may be in for a shock.
