Customer Reviews:

Solid Collection of K.......2004-06-30

Yugoslavia is a wonderful core sample of the music he has made post-CCM. Though the production is nowhere near the same quality as that of T Bone Burnett on Romeo Unchained, it holds up nicely under its own weight. The production isn't slick, nor overbearing... maybe the production is simply adequate. This isn't a bad thing, however, because removing the slickness allows the real content of the music to come to the surface and, as always, the real content of Tonio K's work is the lyric.

This album is a nice collection of songs that feel as though the writer knew in advance that the total number of people ever to hear them would be small... and simultaneously it appears that this didn't bother him. He wasn't writing for the masses to begin with. These songs feel very much as if he were writing for himself - for his own pleasure - and if you get to enjoy the songs too at a later date, well, all the more better.

Don't expect this collection of tunes to feel at all like his early work, nor like Romeo Unchained. Yugoslavia stands by itself. Very listenable, very enjoyable, not as erudite as the critics pointed out years ago, but still passionate.
