Customer Reviews:
Reunion review.......2004-08-13
The songs are well written and the production has more of a country feel than some of his other CDs. Richard Shindell is a masterful lyricist and the cuts on this CD provide some fine examples of his workmanship (i.e. "He who made the lamb, put the tremble in the hand that reaches out to take my quarter.") The recording has some issues with various pops and thumps in most of the tracks, and I only gave it three stars because of the recording quality.
By far the best singer songwriter now in existence.......2003-10-29
I have all his albums loaded on my car's 6 CD-changer. The man is an American treasure and his music has single-handedly resuciated my belief in American music. He is amazing, gifted, superb, brilliant.
Long live Richard Shindell!
Good album........2003-08-07
I heard Richard Shindell on my local NPR station and instantly enjoyed him. His music is both relaxing and thought provoking at the same time. Highly recommended.
brand new to me.......2002-01-20
I have some Dar Williams' and Lucy Kaplansky' CD's, plus naturally Cry,Cry,Cry' CD. And I really don't understand why not start this passion with Richard Shindell. I order this CD from ... recently and I can't leave out this music day by day. I'm looking for this acoustic music long since. The arrangement is breath-taking! Okay, Richard Shindell's voice remind us of Michael Stipe but this music is more acoustic and more reflective and poetic!
A great songwriter, a mediocre CD.......2001-06-10
Shindell is one of the best songwriters to come from the 90's. But this cd is overproduced, and frankly, hard to listen to it without the skip buttom. Some songs are better, other just drawn in a very bad production. Go for "Somewhere Near Patterson" and "Sparrows Points" and wait until these songs are released on a live cd, or as acoustic guitar and vocals. Maybe one day...
