Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Once in a decade or so comes a talent this huge. That Edwin McCaine can write from such a world-weary perspective belies his age. Song after song, his words touch the heart, bringing forth tears of both joy and sadness. And that's just the lyrics.
The voice. How can it be that one so young can sing with so much soul? Song after song, delivering just the right emotion to drive his poetry home. The perfect balance of melody and driving soul.
Don't for a moment try to group Edwin's music in with the talentless, marketing packages that are so prevalent these days. His talent eclipses any 50 of these combined!
On to the DVD. I found this to be an excellent sampler of Edwin's music. His band consistently kicks out the songs, with nary a wrong note. Personal favorites are "Coming Down" and "Shooting Stars". The high point of the DVD is "Beautiful Life", in which Edwin's band cuts loose.
If I had anything to complain about, it would be that though every song is delivered impeccably, the band plays it all a little too safe for my tastes. the exception is the aforementioned "Beautiful Life" which shows what they're capable of. I only wished they'd stretched like that on a few more songs.
So, if you haven't hit the "Buy Now" button yet, go ahead and do it - you won't be sorry. While you're at it, pick out a few of his CD's. There's nary a bad one in the bunch - a further testament to the talent of this young man!
