Hey gang..
For any of you auditeers looking for great new releases early this year,
you'd be well pleased to check out the new album from Tim Reid. I heard it
yesterday, and just couldn't stop playing it. First class songwriting, great
singing (i could listen to his voice all day.. oh, i did!) and great
production make this a must have, and certainly an early contender for the
Top 10.. i can't imagine a better singer songwriter record coming out this
year. It's a little mellow.. a great record to listen to loud, as it's quite
emotional and overwhelming. I hear flavours of Neil Finn in some of the
melodic turns, and the presentation reminds me of Elliot Smith at times..
but less angular than Elliot could be. Every song is great and accessible,
and while he may conjure up the spirits of Neil & Elliot, rest assured that
Tim combines all that to make his own unique voice, as a singer and
songwriter. Here's a guy who could be a MAJOR new talent given half a
chance..
Available from Popboomerang, and i assume Not Lame and the like.
