Free Music Notes for Indiana (with Bonus Disc) - Amazon.com Exclusive
Free Music Review: Indiana Rising
Hit: 5 Stars
This disc is just amazing it is so good. (I happened upon it through Amazon's "other people who bought this also bought.." marketing. I watched the video, listened to the samples, and signed on. I'm really glad I did). If I were downloading it track by track from iTunes, there is not a track I would skip. There is so much good music here, but also so much heart, it is simply superb (and I don't say that often). In its honesty and musicality, though not in the actual sound, it reminds me of Matt Nathanson's "Beneath These Firworks," another wonderul disc by the way.
The title song is so lovely, and lovingly rendered, that for me it stands out and I find it really moving. The sound of the song Indiana, differs from most of the the rest of the tracks which are louder and more insistent in their beat. His voice is excellent, a delightfully husky tenor; he can really sing, and pretty clearly - you can actually understand most of the lyrics without reading along.
As you can tell, I love the disc and cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a definite buy. It's very special.
UPDATE (Nov., 07): I recently saw Jon live in SF. He is even better in person than on disc. He did some of the songs on the CD but with much more musical complexity and also longer. Ended with a superb Lennon medly. If you have the chance, take him in live. Simply great.
Free Music Review: A Great Discovery
Hit: 5 Stars
One day, as I was flipping through the T.V. channels, I came across Jon McLaughlin performing in Texas. I was so impressed by him that I immediately went and bought his CD from Amazon. He has a really nice voice, plays the piano beautifully, and is very appealing. I am so glad that I discovered his music. Free Music Review: Won't be unknown for long
Hit: 5 Stars
What a fantastic CD!! I heard one amazing song, "Beautiful Disaster", and decided that I had to hear song samples of the rest. After that, I was sold. The CD is a absolute must!Free Music Review: Refreshing and Emotional
Hit: 5 Stars
I thoroughly am enjoying this disc. John is in my eyes very comparable to Gavin DeGraw in that you have an immediate emotional tie to his music. You know that he is truly an artist, and not just someone out there singing a song because he can. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for a new disc to buy.Free Music Review: two editions of this album
Hit: 4 Stars
As of this writing, the Amazon information for this version of the album is missing, so it's hard to figure out what the difference is between the two releases.
There are two versions of Jon McLaughlin's "Indiana". There's the mainstream edition (buying it from Amazon nets you a nice bonus disc with it), and there's the Christian edition of it. The difference between the two albums is one song. The mainstream edition has the song "Amelia's Missing", which includes the line "how in the hell am I supposed to find the one that I love?". The Christian edition removes this song and replaces it with "Proud Father", a ballad about unconditional love.
