"Hollow" knocked me back on to my heels at time when I was most often flanked by the sound of Jane A's "STOP!" or The Charlatans' "Only One I Know-oh." There is a place for this sound-the Jill Sobulian cotton soft credulity; and Brian Kennedy's deeply melancholic (& stratospherically toned) voice is so very perfect for these more serene and solemn notes of our life.



The Great War Of Words shines bright with "Open Arms," "Keep a Firm Grip" and the preterpeppy "Believe It," but even the dullest RCA exec knew well-enough to spotlight "Hollow."



"The Great War" is not to be played to punch life into the soul of a junior college shindig, but once that party has waned down towards quietude, and you find yourself alone with your girl and one cozy sofa not too soaked with puke for snuggling, this - Brian Kennedy's The Great War of Words - is the CD to find that sheriff in every soul.
