I really like the music but…

In my never-ending listening to CD’s of the kindie kind for review here on the blog this one left me in a bit of a quandary. D is for Django  by Django Jones  (3 former members of Girlyman)has really good songs with solid songwriting, vocals and musical arrangements.  Well worth listening too. The problem is the not so great narration filling in between songs which I found really unnecessary and distracting.  A couple would have been ok, but between each song becomes overworked and superfluous.  The good news is we live a digital age and eliminating the narration is pretty easy to do as the music itself is excellent.  The opening song All That I See is direct, poignant and I love the xylophone and harmonies (strong throughout the CD). Counterpoint is a really cool lesson on explaining harmonies to the listener.  The CD then closes with two terrific Lullabies one of which is aptly named- Lullabies.  The other  gem with its orchestral feel, nature sounds, simple lyrics and soaring harmonies  is Long Time Sun.  Just a  great closing ballad. So go buy the CD, skip by the narration parts and enjoy some great music.  That’s what I do.  The music is worth the trip.  Go support a kindie artist today!     This CD was provided free to the reviewer but the opinions expressed here are his own.
