Written by D. Brent Nelson and former Expose member Kelly Moneymaker (with occasional help from others) and performed by Moneymaker and several Days cast members, the songs here center on a powerful, retro-ballad sense that embraces both whispery confessionals like "I Am Right Here" and Tanya Boyd/Celeste's "December Rain" and more gutsy, r&b-charged performances like Moneymaker's "Love the Way You Love Me." The show's music also ranges across modern country-rock romping (Peter Reckell/Bo's "When Two Chevys Collide"), more sedate Nashville sounds (Moneymaker's "How Can the Days Go By?") and AC-friendly rock from cast members Arianne Zucker/Nicole (an upbeat "Easy to Love You") and Kyle Lowder/Brady (the wistful "Undone"). Hardly cutting edge, yet a fitting musical foil for the show's melodramatic romantic daydreams. --Jerry McCulley« less

"Who knew a soap could turn out such a great album? Kelly Moneymaker leads the charge in this stellar complication of stirring ballads, haunting melodies, and good ol' rock & roll. Check out Peter Reckell's playful "When Two Chevys Collide", Kelly's "I Am Right Here" and the soulful "Love the Way You Love Me" (you better SING!), and "I'll Never Hold You Again". Whether you're a fan of Days of Our Lives or not, this CD definitely stands on its own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"

"Andrew here. Okay, first of all for all those reviewers who gave this cd one star, what cd were they listening to? The production quality of this cd is not just standard but it stands alone in quality and you can feel it in the songs. Next,would you please stop bashing Kelly Moneymaker? As many of you may not know, Kelly Moneymaker was a member of Expose, and all the praise in these reviews is a result of us Expose fans admiration for Kelly. There are a great number of us. WE grew up with Kelly and followed her career closely since 1992. Believe me, she is truly talented. And furthermore we Expose fans are the most loyal bunch you will ever dare come face to face with. So don't even start with me about us fans praising our Kelly. Back down! We only give credit where credit is due. Now that I have gotten that off my chest let's get back to the cd. "I am right here" is a great song about wanting to be with someone. It's a lovely song. Kyle Lowder's song "Undone" is country sounding and well suits his vocals. "December" sung by Tanya Boyd is jazzy sounding song which didn't jump out at me at first but after a few listens it is enjoyalbe. "Shadow of Love" a song sung by Jeannette, another member of Expose. It really is a great song, sort of easy listening. Folks, this cd is a winner. You'll enjoy it if you believe in love."
L love this cd!

"I recently got the cd and I think it is wonderful. I have been a long time fan of the show AND a big country music fan too, so this is a win win for me. I hadn't been watching as much as I used to and since I got the CD I am really into the show again. I think the songs are really stong and the performances by the singers are pure and honest. It makes me fall in love with all the characters in a whole new way. Thanks for re-invigorating me about the show with this CD. It is my new fav!!!"
Okay! I'm in love now

"I got my copy of the CD and it's just great. The music is very well done and I love hearing everyone get their chance at singing some really lovely tunes. Glad to see Expose's lead singer is out of retirement 'cause we've MISSED you girl!
Lots of fine performances!

Fabulous CD

"I could listen to Kelly Moneymaker all day long and I love the good time feel of When Two Chevys Collide by Peter Reckell. There is a very intimate feel to this CD and some really sweet vocals on the tracks...The most notable exception to the sweet vocals is "Love the Way You Love Me". Kelly Moneymaker puts goosebumps on my skin and makes me clap my hands to her heartfelt gospel rendition of this song...Talk about goin' to church, whew! It doesn't get any better than this. Nice goin' from the Days of Our Lives cast.I suggest you buy this CD. You'll want to be listening to it all the time.
