Free Music Review: Made me a fan! A great cd
Hit: 5 Stars
I discovered Joshua Radin by accident. I was having dinner with some friends and the conversation turned to Scrubs and I mentioned that I was always impressed with the musical selections that were featured in the episodes. This led to a conversation about how Zach Braff had a friend that he is always plugging which was Joshua Radin. I informed my host that I had never heard the name and my friend of course runs to the cd player and puts in the We Were Here.
This was a great cd and the music was so honest and seemed to be from the heart. I was very impressed that it was just the singer and his guitar. So many new bands try to over compensate for their lack of experience by over producing the music. This was not the case here, the music was simple and straight forward. My friend gave me her copy of the cd and I have played it non stop and have started to catch myself singing along. There are no standout songs that would by your typical single, instead you get once of the most solid debut albums with great songs from start to finish (the last song Only You by Yaz is hands down my favorite).
I have over a 1000 cds and this one is easily a top 20 in my collection. It is perfect for being by yourself and just enjoying nothing but the music, it really puts you in a happy place.
We Were Here Poster
Contrary to what Garth Brooks once sang, it never hurts to have friends in high places. Though Joshua Radin is sure to have found his way without them, it can't have done much harm to have gone to college with actor/director Zach Braff and singer/songwriter Cary Brothers, two of his more supportive schoolmates. The connections led to several appearances on Scrubs (starting with the Brothers-produced "Winter"), then on Grey's Anatomy ("These Photographs"), followed by a record deal with Columbia. On his major label debut, Radin evokes the sensitive folkies of the AM era--Paul Simon, James Taylor, and Cat Stevens--as much as the alternative radio variant offered up by Elliot Smith in the 1990s. We Were Here, which follows indie EP First Between 3rd and 4th, is subtle stuff distinguished by vocals that are as much whisper as soft-spoken lullaby. Heck, "Everything'll Be Alright" is even subtitled "Will's Lullaby." (The now LA-based Radin claims that his quiet style stems from writing songs that would keep a rather volume-sensitive New York neighbor at bay.) Overall, the cello-laden disc feels more familiar than original, but makes for a soothing listen, and de-synthesized Yaz cover "Only You" (penned by future Erasure member Vince Clarke) is a charming addition. --Kathleen C.
