. . . and just listen. You can hear every word, you can learn every one of them and sing them -- and you will, playing this cd over and over. Without being in any way old-fashioned, this is music the way it used to be. What a terrific debut! Newton Faulkner may singlehandedly make ginger dreadlocks the fashion all over the world. :)
his voice is heart shattering, his percussive strenghths are phenominal, and his technical guitar-work is nothing less than impeccable. this is one musician i HIGHLY recommend seeing live. if you see him live and have no urge to buy this album afterwards, check your pulse...
The first song of his that I heard was a cover of the song Teardrop in which he shows off his "guitar tapping skills"! After I listened to his other songs, I instantly fell in love with his music. I had not heard the song Straight To The Sun before I bought the CD, but it may be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. He apparently has started to get increasingly more exposure in the US. I saw that he was on Jay Leno not too long ago. What a unique and talented singer/song writer/ musician!! He writes such meaningful and passionate lyrics. I can "chill out" or listen to this while I am at my desk, and my state of mind is instantly improved. If you like acoustic guitar and songs with a message, you need to give this one a try!
