Speaking of Love is a 23-track spoken word collection featuring Rod McKuen reading his poetry, with exactly two songs tossed into the mix: "To Watch the Trains" and "So Long San Francisco." He was an incredibly popular poet whose books sold millions of copies, so this material has its adherents. If you appreciate McKuen's poetry enough to treasure his husky readings, with and without background music, then this disc is for you. Those who enjoy McKuen's music but have no particular enthusiasm for his poetry can safely skip this one. ~ Greg Adams
