CD ReviewsTao-like Cope Creates Fierce, yet simple, Imagery and Passio John M. Mahoney III | 02/13/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am not Citizen Cope's biggest fan and I did not see his first concert ever. I picked up on him by accident a few years back and instantly feel in love like so many others. Maybe CC's passion and uniqueness makes every fan feel like his biggest fan, his music is just that moving. I have seen Cope in concert five or six times over the last four years and this album continues in Copes progression towards masterful simplicity. After seeing him the last time play acoustic and alone this album represents what I expected based on that show. Great lyrics, amazing voice, and simple, yet powerful beats. my two complaints/wishes: 1. After waiting two years I wish there were more than 8 unique songs(the cd has 10 tracks, but two are remixes), but I would prefer 8 great tracks then a cd with 20 tracks and only one or two good ones for the radio. 2. I wish there were a few faster songs. I do not dislike the slow songs, but I think one or two Brother Named Lee like tunes would have been nice. All in all the cd delivers and is a must have. If you do not already have Citizen Cope's self titled album I would recommend that as a better first offering. If you already have all the other cds then your probably getting this cd regardless of what I said." Intro to Citizen Cope MuzikCrazy | 02/19/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is my first listen of any Citizen Cope material and I have to say that I am instantly hooked. I enjoyed this album very much and have picked up a few of his older albums and have been equally impressed. It is an easy listen and I enjoy his lyrics too. I know some have indicated that this album may be a departure from his previous albums, but I think progression is important in all things. After listening to older albums, I don't feel it is that much of a departure, but simply some maturity in his abilities and his experiences. I very much enjoy the album and recommend it to existing Citizen Cope fans and new fans alike." Respect beyond words Suzy M | San Francisco, CA United States | 02/19/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "First and foremost, The RainWater LP is amazing. If you are a true listener, you will hear something new every time. He has a unique talent for expressing big ideas and everyday people ideas at the same time. Go to his website and read the letter he sent with the release. These words will give you insight into what he's done to preserve the integrity of his art. He hasn't tried to fit into a genre, he hasn't allowed the business part of the industry to drive his choices, he chooses promotion/placement carefully; he does this because he loves it and he has a gift to share. My personal favorites on this album (at this moment) are "I Couldn't Explain Why" and "Off The Ground" but I love the whole thing, start to finish. Thank you, Clarence!
See him live. He tours like a mad man, so you should be able to see him in the next 12 months, wherever you are. And see him 2 nights in a row, if you can. You will have 2 different experiences because he watches his crowd, adjusts, uses the crowd to enhance the music. Crowds are all ages (from college age to gray hair....and a lot in between). It's an experience. " |
