I bought the cd a few weeks ago.... I HAVEN'T REMOVED IT FROM MY CD PLAYER YET! It's fantastic!

It's nice to hear people talking this way about Steve's music. As a song writer, he gets the hammer on the nail very consistantly in terms of expression of sentiment. The CD is extremely well executed and if he continues the way he is, he will gradually infiltrate the hearts of the global country music listening audience.

I think Pinata Novia stands out as the most commercial track, along with Sounds So Good, although Pinata has a nice ethereal quality to it which tends to transcend the commerciality of the track.

It's nice isn't it, to hear songs which obviously have wide reaching appeal, and yet are not compromised in terms of integrity.

No you're right! It would be a little insulting to portray the album as just country. The reason I made the link wsa because that's market the album is aimed at. There is very much a folk/rock influence in there. I think that's why the album stands out particularly well, as it draws outside of the scope of its target category. It's one of the very many reasons I like what Steve does so much, and goes hand in hand with what my releases aim to do, i.e, not be bound by the production directions of a particular genre, and more to the point, not let those boundaries get in the way of the message you are trying to get a cross.

Most singer/songwriters say what they think all the time (you see them shooting their mouths off about any given topic), but its not so often that you get a singer/songwriter who writes and perform exactly what they think and feel.

Steves cd is a little bit of soft country but the general vibe of the cd to me just shouts 'steve carlsons own style of music' if there could be such a catagory. His words and songwriting are felt from the heart and always tell me when I listen to it that its all from personal experience and therefore I can relate to it.

Kathy, Im glad you liked it and are getting into Steve, hes such a sweet man too when you meet him.
