For the Dreamer In Us All

"This CD is unlike any other concert you've ever heard. The superlatives for this album would fill volumns. Rod was at Carnegie Hall for his birthday celebration in 1970 and his intimancy with the crowd is obvious early on. The love seems to flow in each direction, from audience to performer and back. The songs and poems are warm, wistful, happy, sad and run the full spectrum of human emotions. Unfortunately, the CD has been edited by taking out some twenty minutes of the concert, but what remains is priceless. If you can listen to Rod's reading of "A Cat Named Sloopy" and not have a tear in your eye I'd be surprised.The same with "To Watch the Trains," "I'll Catch the Sun," and "I've Been to Town." Sit back, relax, close your eyes, and just let the songs of life, love, love lost, loneliness and childhood just wash over you. I promise you an unforgettable experience.Joe M. HayesDel Mar, CA"
Glad to know his wonderful music is still available.

"What a marvelous talent. One of the worlds best poets as well as a great songwriter and singer. Thanks for putting this wonderful talent on your availability list. I have been looking everywhere for some of his albums."
Not all of the original material is on this CD
