5.0 out of 5 stars Best kept secret, July 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Art of Living (Audio CD)

After owning this piece for six years now, it's still one of my faves. When it's on in the car someone will invariably ask, "who is this?" followed by some rave review. "Still in this thing" is one of the best. What has happened to the Boomers?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have!, October 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Art of Living (Audio CD)

This is one of my all-time favorite CDs.... check out the lyrics, Ian Thomas's vocals, the great band, the overall pacing of song selection and order.... holds up great upon multiple listenings (trust me on that, I speak from experience!). And if you saw Bette Midler's HBO special, she did a great cover of "To Comfort You." Why don't more people know about this group? And what the heck are they up to these days? Grab yourself a copy of "The Art of Living" -- you'll be so glad you did!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Boomers revisited, April 28, 2004

This review is from: Art of Living (Audio CD)

10 years ago I was listening to a local "offbeat" radio station which has since fell by the wayside. It was a nice retreat from the typical "Rock" cookies cutter stations in my area. If I heard Zepplin, The Stones, or some other worn out over played artists I would slit my wrists. It was here on the small low powered station that I first came across The Boomers. The station didn't say who the artist were, so I looked up the stations number and called. The voice at the other end informed me that The Boomers was a band out of Canada. The cut I heard was the title song "Art of Living". I like it so much I started calling the local records store to buy a copy of this album. I was informed that it was not available in the U.S. So I drove up to Toronto to obtain a copy. It was a three hour drive but well worth it. On my trip back I played the CD and it was a very cool ride back. Titles such as Modern Man and others were moving and insightful. A few years later that album and some others were stolen from my car. So I made another trip to replace it. To sum it up one of my all time favorite albums. Thank God for those "offbeat" small stations.
