Search - Eric Himan :: I Go On

Dynamic vocal range paired with skilled percussive playing are delivered in this sophomore release which has been described as "Tracy Chapman meets Dave Matthews with and Ani DiFranco twist." I Go On... opens with Delicately Made, an acoustic song about the struggles of life exploration in these hard economic times. I Ain't Done with You, the blues inspired second track highlights Eric in a new arena as he grooves and belts out the notes in a style reminiscent of blues "diva's". Go On offers a theory rarely spoken of today, that "you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince!" The next three tracks showcase Eric's influences and diversity: Change Your Tune, is rockabilly monochromatic slide scale song. Man You Had In Mind, is an up- tempo bluegrass tune, and Alone, a jazz inspired "quiet" song. Save Me the Trouble, is a waltzy acoustic song with a beautiful bridge and offers a message of friendship and hope through difficult times. Eric also ventures into political territory with, Us Little People, which explores the differences in modern US society with that of the "sugar-coated" 50's era. Eric is known for his great song writing, but he centers best in the ballad arena with tracks such as No Urgency, a piano driven song about lost love. The next song Cold is a remake of song Eric recorded early on in his career. It is his most requested song on tour! It was updated and added to this release as a bonus for his long time fans. I Will Wait is a fast driven, fly by the seat of your pants song that captures the heartache and desperation of desiring the attention of another. I Go On... wraps up with the first "officially released single" Wish. This pop- oriented songs culminates a taste of all of the styles and influences which inspire Eric as a song writer! This song is sure to get you up and moving! One listen through, and you will be convinced that this sophomore offering from Eric Himan will be the cd that allows Eric to enter into mainstream music today! Eric's delivery on the cd is flawless. I Go On... showcases Eric's genius in penning lyrics that speak to the mind and heart simultaneously, the percussive acoustic style of guitar playing that has become his trademark, and the diversity of his musical endeavors. This cd is a must have for lovers of truly original music!
