What does his hair have to do with anything, and why do you feel compelled to judge him because he chooses to have hair? |

| Candela (Trondheim) | Posted: Jul 07, 2007 - 08:32 This music definately grabs my attension.. |
| SmilinJimmy (Canada) | Posted: Mar 03, 2007 - 19:35 It's NewAge. boo. It's country. boo. It's metal. boo. It's technopop. boo. It's easylisteningoperacountryrapmetal. boo. It speaks to you or it doesn't. Frankly, I don't much care about the label, the end result is what counts. I happily give out 2's for those that leave me cold, and the 8's for ones that kick me in the junk. |
| cochlear (Kauai, Hawaii) | Posted: Mar 03, 2007 - 19:27 Wait! I know you guys know this. How often does RP recycle its playlists? This is madness. |
| miktvk | Posted: Feb 01, 2007 - 06:37 So many armchair critics. So so tedious. Every day's playlist is a revelation. Thanks Bill. Freed from commercial radio tyranny forever. Some people still just don't appreciate what they've got here, and that's a real shame. Will it all please everybody? No. But come on folks, easy does it. Geez. Don't like it, don't listen. |
| fretman | Posted: Feb 01, 2007 - 06:33 It's called "NewAge" and it rhymes with "sewage". But this ain't either. Its derned good picking, if you axe me. omniphiliac wrote: This is the second time I've seen the phrase "New Age" used in reference to really excellent guitar playing. The first was a response to a piece by an artist in Mali. And then there's this. Sort of makes me think if there's a genre called "New Age" and these songs are representative of that genre...well, you can count me in as a fan, though I've never dressed up like a hobbit. I think it's beautiful. What's wrong with something that's just basically well done? Ah, I suppose it's lacking a little testosterone. But man, you can't listen to Whitesnake all the time. |

| johkir (Davis, CA) | Posted: Dec 19, 2006 - 13:22 I feel as thought this piece ended too soon. |
| goo (Victoria, B.C.) | Posted: Dec 19, 2006 - 13:21 Gawd I hate this new age crap. This is music for people who like to dress up like hobbits and medieval damsels. ekkk. |
| daveesh (birthplace of the american revolution) | Posted: Dec 19, 2006 - 13:19 looks like he just stepped off the cover of a romance novel. |
| FAY | Posted: Nov 20, 2006 - 09:18 Bill, You should list French composer Rene Aubry. Would fit in really well after Jesse Cook. |
| pannaramma (From Away) | Posted: Sep 08, 2006 - 04:42 Nice way to ease into the day. Pretty and not too challenging. |
| themotion (the great city of austin in the not so great state of texas) | Posted: Aug 24, 2006 - 13:25 Nice set, Bill. Just strolled into work, and life is ambient. You may outdo yourself from yesterday. |
| MtnGoat (On the Last Train to Lhasa) | Posted: Jul 26, 2006 - 07:20 At the first few bars I came here wondering what Gipsy Kings album this was from. Then as I discovered the artist (new to me) and the bars went by and nothing really seemed to develop, I realized what wonders can be achieved with resonant effects and a tinkle bell, and I issued a rare sub 5. A wasted opportunity. .goat |
| savoyard (Indiana) | Posted: Jul 26, 2006 - 07:19 You definitely don't want to judge this CD by its cover. Some marketing guy probably thought that cd cover was cool...Otherwise it's a good song. |

| TheJestress (CorporateWonderLand) | Posted: Jul 11, 2006 - 15:24 i really would like to have those curls though.  talk about hella product. |
| loud_family_fan | Posted: Jul 11, 2006 - 15:20 This isn't very good, but the little bell in the background makes it really awful. Did the producer wonder, how can we make sure people know that this is new agey nonsense-I know add a little tinkeling bell! |

| borderlessworld (Good Old Germany) | Posted: Jan 31, 2006 - 13:41 boy, this sounds as if a dude from an new-age ashram tries to impress a bunch of boyscouts with some guitar tabs ... no substance, no nothing. |

I purchased "Breathing Below Surface" after hearing it here...looks like I'll be buying this one too. Strangely enough, 5 months later I'm hearing this song right after "Go Insane"! I hope RP isn't a very long tape loop! Nawwww must be an incredible coincidence..... |
| webslinger48 | Posted: Oct 21, 2005 - 11:30 Wow...this is a exquisite song...i bought a couple of Jesse Cook albums after hearing this one and there's something for everyone in his music. The reworking of Neil Finn's "Fall at Your Feet" on the same album is a good one, too (but begs the question: why get Danny Wilde of the Rembrandts to handle vocals instead of the real McCoy)? Probably the song I listen to the most is "Down Like Rain" which is also sung by Wilde on the Album Nomad. If you like flamenco-tinged world music, check it out. |

Talk like Yoda, you do! ;) |
| SpaceCowboy (Off the shoulder of Orion, near the Tannhauser gate) | Posted: Sep 07, 2005 - 06:07 I'm sorry, but I this, imho, really bad. It's hackneyed, boring, and totally void of substance. Great guitarist, it sounds nice, but still... What about the MUSIC? It's like meeting this beautiful woman you feel tremendously attracted to, only to discover that nobody's home when you start talking to her. |

| Zobi_la_mouche (Far, far, away...) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 12:27 Lovely!  |
| BluEyes (Near Paradise) | Posted: Aug 08, 2005 - 12:27 This is the difference between music that you hear and music that you feel. |

| lester | Posted: Jul 04, 2005 - 23:37 Very nice. |
| rah | Posted: Apr 22, 2005 - 14:16 would be lovely to hear some selections from the "Motorcycle Diaries" soundtrack here. |
| stornoway (Dorset England) | Posted: Apr 07, 2005 - 23:00 Memo to self: buy this! There's a lot of stuff on RP that i think is quite nice but this is the 1st in a while I've been impelled to buy the record. Straightforward feelgood and y not. Admittedly it's borderline schmaltz but it's just far enough north of the border to bear repeated playings. |
| Alexandra (Ohio...for now.) | Posted: Mar 09, 2005 - 12:02 This is just stunning. I've been wanting to get some of his CDs for ages, now. Time to do it! :goodvibes: |
| sherp (Calgary) | Posted: Jan 09, 2005 - 11:52 wow... I think you're reading my mind. I was just on amozon adding this cd to my wishlist. Great stuff.  |

| ironlung (Montreal) | Posted: Oct 09, 2004 - 03:34 Seen him live at the Montreal Jazz fest. I must say i was totally blown away. See him live if u ever get the chance. |

Great segue from Bruce Cockburn's Bone In My Ear to this piece Bill. I concur with the segue bit. Beautiful. |
| ChardRemains (Pepperland) | Posted: Sep 24, 2004 - 12:43 "Virtue" from a virtuoso. Nice composition. Very nicely played. |
