I sometimes lose faith in the “neuvo” music listener — so much of today’s “music” is highly manufactured with formulaic sounds and lyrics – sometimes even the “musicians” are created in someone’s image. There seems to be so much wasted energy pumped into the superficial and external componants of performing, that the less glamorous work of actual musicianship and passionate storytelling is all but lost.

Thank you for doing a wonderful job at reviewing a CD!
