CD Reviews

Cherish precious life

Dale E. Moore | San Antonio, Texas | 09/11/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a computer nerd often out of touch with real life. Brook's music brings me back in touch and energizes me. So much that I will end with one of my few poems:

Cherish precious life

Melodious rhythmic brook

You move me to act"

Soultouching

Morgaine | Spain | 09/23/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

""The Great Blues Sea" has become one of my favourites. Soultouching blues

with deepgoing lyrics, telling of life experience and of this better world,

we pagans (and many others!) are working and living for. Goes right under

the skin!

Earthy Blues from the Heart

Bill Dewey/Reclaiming Quarterly | San Francisco | 10/17/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had to like a Pagan CD that is not only firmly grounded in traditional blues - but includes covers of songs by Elmore James and Muddy Waters. The highlight of he Great Blues Sea is not so much particular songs, but the rootsy blues guitar of singer-songwriter Brook. The songs are well-crafted, with a mix of personal, political, and Pagan lyrics. My favorite number is "Summerland," a tongue-in-cheek look at the afterlife. If you're looking for "earthy" Pagan music, this is the CD for you."
