I can describe the latest release from Rock sensation Graham Nash for you with just one word… Outstanding!
Graham Nash has been a super star in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Songs For Beginners is an excellent illustration as to why.
Songs For Beginners is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Overall Songs For Beginners is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Rock fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.
While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 4 - I Used To Be A King, track 7 - Man In The Mirror, and track 11 - We Can Change The World
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Military Madness. Outstanding!
