Free Music Notes for So Much MoreFree Music Review: So Much More Hit: 5 StarsBrett Dennen's best album so far. Look him up on Youtube. You will buy this album once you here a few of his songs.
Free Music Review: Very pleasing to the ears... Hit: 5 StarsBrett's voice is quirky and sometimes reminds me of Paolo Nutini; he's also a wonderful song writer. This is a fine album with a great selection of interesting material.
Free Music Review: Sophmore blues? Hit: 3 StarsI think Brett is an up and coming force in jazz, and indie rock. His smooth sweet jams are so melodical and very thoughtful for such a young hippy. I just felt his first album was amazing, GET IT! You will be blown away, this was good but no explosion. Round three will be the test. Better than alot, but...I wanted so much more!
Free Music Review: Very Enjoyable Hit: 5 StarsEasy going, simple, laid back, and wonderful lyrics. I can listen to this music while my kids are around. That is important to me. I have to say I like his second album better than the first. It seems to me to be alittle more stripped down. I love it!!!
Free Music Review: The voice of this generation Hit: 5 StarsPLEASE listen to this kid!
I'm an old guy. I grew up in the Viet Nam era listening to Bob Dylan singing "The Times They Are A Changin'", to Phil Ochs, Simon & Garfunkel, and the revolutionaries Country Joe and the Fish and the Jefferson Airplane. The only thing WE did wrong then was we didn't overthrow the government, we became it, and we made it worse.
Enter Brett Dennen singing "I saw people's histories tatooed on their skins". I thought of the holocaust survivors whose story is dying as a new generation gives credibility to those who say it all never happened. Then he sings "I asked when is the revolution". Now? Please?
Our wonderful country is in some dark times. The top tenth of one percent of Americans now earn more than the bottom 50% combined. We have 40 million with no healthcare, and mindless war, and a sophomoric, pugnacious president. It's time for the revolution.
This kid is a lyrical giant at his ripe young late 20s age. His music has the same good but a little raw feel of the great poets of our prior generation. And his lyrics are so dead on, I still have a tear in my eye when I think of them.
Listen, listen to what he's saying. Maybe your heart can be thawed a little more like mine was. Thanks, Brett.
