相隔5年﹐Christine Samson才出版第2張專輯﹐可見她純為興趣﹐這次專輯名為 Uncle Ray & Christine Samson – All Our Way。

這次 Uncle Ray差不多為每一首歌曲都加上旁白﹐猶如聆聽他的節目一樣。收錄的16首都是舊歌翻唱﹐據CD小冊子 Christine稱﹐大多數歌曲由 Uncle Ray所選﹐而專輯由 Romeo Diaz監制及編曲。

專輯歌曲偏向慢版﹐所以非常適合晚上欣賞﹐翻唱 60年代 D'Swooners & Chris Solano的Sonata Of Love﹐便是一首很動聽的歌曲﹐它是香港菲籍樂手 Vic Cristobal葛士培的創作。Life Itself Will Let You Know是失傳多年的好歌﹐是1981年演員 Anthony Quinn及其兒子 Charlie 的單曲﹐可惜當年在美國沒有流行﹐但香港卻大受歡迎﹐這次 Christine找來她的兩位唱歌學生 Sarah Mclaughhlin﹑Irene Ling Chin合唱﹐而且更加上 Uncle Ray 拍下 MV﹐非常溫馨。另外兩首 Elvis的歌曲 Are You Lonesome Tonight及 Angel﹐由一位名為 Peric Lee的男士跟她合唱﹐Peric 的歌聲與 Elvis Presley幾可亂真﹐不過幾首合唱歌﹐Christine似乎因為要遷就合唱者﹐而把 Key提高了﹐於是做成格格不入的感覺﹐情況最嚴重要算是Are You Lonesome Tonight。至於 Christine 的獨唱作品﹐就非常討好﹐配上 Uncle Ray 的旁白﹐令人很感到自然 Relax。

專輯於加拿大溫哥華及香港兩地錄音﹐無論編曲與錄音水準都非常高﹐是一張很不錯的 Adult Contemporary 專輯。

Sonata Of Love
(Vic Cristobal)

Sonata
What does that mean to you?
To me it means love
Love reaching out to you wherever you are
From miles and miles away
But it’s so close that you can say it in just one word
Love, straight from the heart
Love, just for you

When love was new it was grand
We sat and gazed at the band
While they’re playing
We were singing
Our sonata of love

Why did we quarrel and part
Oh darling, what have you done to my heart
Yet I’m praying and keep singing
My sonata of love

Don’t you know that love is just a gamble
To lose would be so cruel
We can’t go on like this
Oh baby, without you how could I exist

Nothing’s the same now you’re gone
Nothing is left but our song
Yet I’m praying and keep singing
My sonata of love

But here you are honey with the sawn
Wish I could forget you
But you are here to stay

Nothing’s the same now you’re gone
Nothing is left but our song
Yet I’m praying and keep singing
My sonata of love

This is our sonata of love
