Artist: Loren Davidson
Title: Songs From My Heart: Music Between the Worlds
Label: none
Year: 2002
Genre: Singer/Songwriter, Folk
Condition: CD case/insert good, disc good (last song skips)
Compact disc found in Key West Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Powerfully emotional songs about relationships and life delivered in a
refined, relaxed manner. One could imagine Loren performing these songs
in a very cozy candlelit lounge while lovers dined on fine steak and
gulped expensive wine. Production is kept simple to let the songs breath
deeply. Voice and acoustic guitar shimmer, with tasteful keyboard
enhancements in suitable places.
The two standout tracks are
"Flute Player" which could easily be considered a lost Moody Blues
masterpiece and "Great Homebrewing Disaster" - a story song in the same
class as Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald" or Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".
"Great
Homebrewing Disaster" will keep you on the edge of your seat - waiting
to hear the conclusion of a very humorous, informative, and highly
entertaining true story about making a batch of mead inside one's own
home. Pour yourself a cold, foamy beverage and listen to the track here, but be warned - there is one quite surprising moment in the song that will startle some listeners!
