5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST CD OUT THERE! THE FUTURE OF MUSIC!, February 19, 2012

B.T. "B. T." - See all my reviews

This review is from: Before Nightfall (Audio CD)

Robert Francis has raised the bar for young singer/songwriters with his major label debut "Before Nightfall". He travels through a variety of sonic landscapes over the course of 12 tracks, but none of them are younger than his 21 years. Influences heard include U2, John Hiatt, The Replacements, Morrissey, Jeff Buckley, and most clearly - Nashville Skyline-era Dylan. Much like Ray Lamontagne's classic debut a few years back, there is a feeling when you listen to this album that you could be listening to it on your reel-to-reel in 1978.

Love the CD, but after just a few uses it started skipping on Before the Nightfall, my favorite song, and then won't play any further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, but I think...
that Junebug sounds at the beginning like the Song "Dream" by The Cranberries. But, i think it is still a very, very soundable, lyrical and different CD with potential. Read more
