CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Tim Finn's Say It Is So underscores a perpetually restless creativity that's carried the New Zealander from the New Wave powerhouse Split Enz through Crowded House and other partnerships with younger brother Tim, to ALT (his earthy collaboration with Hothouse Flowers) to a handful of diverse solo efforts. Throwing in with Nashville producer-guitarist Jay Joyce (Patty Griffin, John Hiatt, the Wallflowers), Finn has produced a record bristling with indie spirit and musical playfulness. The dry expressiveness of his vocals often contrast starkly with the moody mix of muscular guitars, looped samples, and spare harmonies that frame them. Finn's pop sensibility won't be denied, be it straightforward (the Enz-ish "Underwater Mountain") or techno-adventurous ("Roadtrip"), but he's typically worked very hard at finding new voices and sounds to express it. If he stumbles a little (the pedantic sludge of "Need to Be Right"), it's just another sign that Finn is a musician brave enough to occasionally reach beyond his grasp. --Jerry McCulley Similar CDs

CD ReviewsI've Waited 25 Years For This....Thanks Tim.... james smith | LA MESA, CA United States | 03/19/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was first introduced to Tim's singing when I was 13 years old, living in Canada...way back in 1975....I borrowed a copy of Split Enz's Mental Notes and my musical barriers were blown wide open. Initially I was smitten with the combination of Tim's and Phil Judd's vocals -- I loved how they contrasted each other and how they sounded so 'dangerous' together. I lost that sensation when Phil left the group. Even though Tim remained, I felt that he had somehow painted himself into a corner -- afraid to stray from the vocal style that had made him what he was up to that point. Finally, Tim has taken the complete plunge, and not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter -- he dares to be naked -- and he let's the scars show....and it's all beautiful... ...thanks Tim for an album that I wil cherish forever...." A must have for Finn Fanz David Fahey | Settlement 1607 | 04/25/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you like a Finn or have ever heard of a Finn, you will love this cd, eventually. It's a varied lot for sure, but you will be surprised and enjoy it. If you don't, listen to it again. Tim is sneakier than his brother. His aural charms are worth the effort. \" Better than you think David Hirsh | Woodmere, NY USA | 05/21/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "I am a big fan of Neil Finn, Crowded House and Split Enz (mostly the Neil Finn era enz), I have recently started liking Tim Finn's contribution to these groups, as well as Finn Brothers. I find this to be a consistently satisfying group of songs. His voice may not be Neil's or what it once was, but his songwriting, sense of melody and the ability to know the limitations of his voice are there. Of course, there is nothing as good as persuasion on this one, but then he is not the songwriter Richard Thompson is. Another collaboration with him would be wonderful. If you like Tim Finn, you will love this CD."
