CD Reviews

Pretty good, but not near as good as seeing him live

Fletcher B. Howard | Atlanta, GA | 04/16/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Bruce Robison is a fantastic songwriter, and these are fantastic songs. Bruce's voice sounds great, and the recording of "Traveling Soldier" is awesome. For my money, however, there is a better recording of "My Brother and Me" out there, and most of the arrangements here are just okay. The real appeal of Bruce Robison is his ability to deliver songs in a live setting with earnestness and humor. If you have the option, go see him play a small acoustic show. That experience will leave these recordings in the dust. That said, this album is well worth the used price, and it trumps a lot of what Nashville is putting out. Plus, it's kind of amusing to listen to Bruce singing the love songs that were written for women to sing about men. Not that there's anything wrong with that."
