To Spare You Some Time.......2004-06-20

I'll Not Repeat The Other Succinct, Cogent, and Complimentary Reviews

Simply a wonderful album (oops, showing my age there!). Around where I live, nothing like this is ever heard on the FM dial. (Probably not heard much elsewhere, either, given the preponderance of shreiking, half-naked, female "artists" out there.)

I purchased the CD on the strength of several Amazonian reviews and am doggone happy I did.

The Raven to John Mayer's Bluebird.......2003-04-04

Poe's second fulfills the hopes found on his spotty self-titled debut of five years ago. The bittersweet tone of this set of masterful essays on love lost gives an overall autumnal sheen to Poe's observations. Fans of such musical poets as Joni Mitchell, Duncan Shiek, Jackson Browne, or Van Morrison will find images and wordplay worthy of multiple reads. The production is tastefully done, all in the service of the songs, rather than the other way around. Poe moves effortlessly from the the rant of "Echo Box," to the smoky blue lights of "You're the Bomb," to the blissfully irreverent "Deathwatch for a Living Legend" without cracking a smile or losing his way. Watch this guy -- the dark, wistful, self-deprecating, and literate Poe is the raven to John Mayer's bluebird.

One of the 5 CDs I'd take with me to a deserted island.......2003-02-11

I own 700+ CDs that cross many genres and decades, and this is one of the 5 CDs I'd take with me to a deserted island. A friend loaned me "Late Album" a week before we were to see David Poe perform live so I would have an idea of what to expect. I'd never heard of him before, but after one listen to this CD I was immediately hooked on Mr. Poe's intelligent lyrics and musical style.

I honestly enjoy every song, but standouts for me are "The Drifter", "Childbearing", "Never I Will", "Good Lonely", and the absolutely superb "You're the Bomb." This CD works well if you're looking for background music while you're doing something else, but I strongly recommend that you give it your undivided attention - I promise you won't be sorry.

Finally, if you have a chance to see David Poe perform live please do so. He has a wonderful rapport with the crowd that makes you feel as though you're all old friends that he's entertaining in his living room. He's a gracious and charming guy that I hope gets all the success he deserves.

Wonderful, catchy stay in your head songs.......2002-09-30

I LOVE this album! I heard cuts 1&2 on my local NPR station (KCRW 89.9 in L.A.) and called in just to find out who it was and what is that album! I had never even heard of David Poe before, so I was thrilled to purchase it and have listened to it nonstop for weeks! I have also given it to friends and family. I generally prefer female singers, i.e., Beth Orton, Alannis, Norah Jones, some Tori (Little Earthquakes, really). I'm not a wild chick--thankfully, this is not a "wild" album--just really listenable, and COOL music that I continue to enjoy and wish I could hear more of in the mainstream.
