Perfect sounds to mellow you out

"Like a Bird, Like a Plane
I've been listening to Charlie Mars music for a while now.
Originally heard him from an Oxford American magazine comp.
and bought the Charlie Mars by Charlie Mars Band cd. Loved the southern drawl and laid back sound. Clever lyrics,
very poetic unlike a lot of "popular" music out there now.
Like a Bird, Like a Plane demonstrated a lot of growth...
musically, vocally and lyrically. He's mellow, but not somnolent. "Listen to the Darkside is great (as is the video which features Mary Louise Parker) to bounce around the house to, and the title track is very percussion oriented and definitely gets your attention right away.
I can't wait until the next installment. For the foreseeable future this cd will be rotating through my audio players.
