A career album. NO PROBLEM WITH THE CD IN USA!

"I was anxious to hear this album as I have Bruce's debut solo CD "The Wheels Roll." "The Wheels Roll" is an excellent album, but I think "Beyond The Pale" places Bruce among the ranks of the truly great American singer-songwriters. There is not a bad cut on the album. I have read reviews comparing Bruce to Bob Dylan, The Wallflowers and Guy Clark, but make no mistake, his is an original voice. The songs are very literate, and the production is flawless. This is an album you can listen to again and again. Some favorite cuts: I Wanted To, Look At You Now, and Running Out Of Light. This is an artist working at the height of his powers. Incidentally, I read the review of the CD from the guy in Tokyo and I had to wonder if he had purchased a bootleg copy. I have no problem with my CD, and neither does a friend that I recommended it to. I highly recommend this album."

"I ordered this based on a friend's recommendation and I always trust her taste in music. This time she was WRONG! She said it was a great CD, but it was the most incredible new music to come along in such a long time. It really moved me. I'm ordering another for a friend I like to turn on to new great artists. I look forward to hearing alot more from Bruce Henderson in the future. Is musical genius too strong of word? I think not."
