Every Day of My Life es un álbum de Michael Bolton, publicado en 1976. El disco incluye 10 canciones, entre ellas «Rocky Mountain Way», «If I Had Your Love», «Every Day Of My Life» y «You Mean More To Me».
Sobre el álbum
En su segundo álbum, Every Day of My Life, lanzado en 1976, Michael Bolton continuó explorando las vertientes del rock y el soul, todavía bajo su apellido original, Bolotin. Este trabajo sigue la estela de su debut, aunque se percibe una mayor inclinación hacia melodías con influencias del R&B, anticipando sutilmente el camino que tomaría en el futuro.
A pesar de ello, el sonido predominante sigue siendo enérgico y directo. Por ejemplo, el tema que da título al disco es una pieza potente que muestra la garra de su voz. El álbum tampoco logró el despegue comercial esperado, lo que eventualmente llevaría al artista a una etapa de reflexión y cambio de rumbo estilístico.
Posteriormente, Michael Bolton se centraría más en su faceta de compositor para otros artistas antes de relanzar su carrera en solitario en los años 80. "Every Day of My Life" queda como un segundo capítulo de su etapa inicial, un disco que, si bien no fue un éxito, contiene la esencia de un talento que estaba a punto de encontrar su verdadera voz y su público masivo.
Es interesante observar cómo la producción del álbum, aunque propia de su tiempo, busca resaltar la capacidad vocal del artista por encima de todo. Cada canción funciona como un vehículo para su impresionante registro y su particular forma de sentir la música.
