Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2003-06-03

I have known Justin since his childhood in Upstate New York, and I must say that this CD is AMAZING. The Berkley School of Music has defintely refined his gift and created an inspirational album that so many can appreciate. You will not be disappointed! :-)

5 out of 5 stars Swimming with the Shadows!.......2002-03-19

Justin Brooks is one of the best folk-rock artists around today. He holds his own against Ellis Paul, Dar Williams, and other favorites of the genre. His songs are all very well written both musically and lyrically.

My favorite song on this CD changes from day to day. I do love the duet with Ellis Paul, "Poet." The hooky guitar riff at the beginning of "Julia" is the most memorable since "Sweet Child O' Mine." His guitarist, Scott Hamilton (not the skater), deserves a great deal of credit for adding just enough of his great guitar work to Justin's songs. These two clearly have the sort of singer-guitarist relationship that is the epicenter of most great bands like Creed, Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stones.

To make a long story short, if you like DMB, Creed, Ellis Paul and everything in between, you will love this CD. Don't hesitate or wait too long because I am sure it will go out of print very quickly. Justin Brooks will be one of the great lyricists and voices of his generation. Don't miss your chance to "swim with the shadows" of this great work!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT NEW ARTIST!!.......2001-10-17

This CD features original songs by Justin Brooks, a Berklee student in Boston. Justin writes wonderful lyrics and has artful composition to his music. This CD has soulful ballads as well as rock music. The songs vary from love songs about "Julia", songs of consoation to "Caroline" as she is "swimming in the shadows", love lost in "New York City", earning angels' confidence in "Take to the Wind", and the life of a Comanche Warchief in "Quanah". Each song on this CD is a solid work of art. The listener will not be disappointed!!
