Editorial Reviews

Merging hardcore knowledge in physics, neuroscience, and psychology with original music, poetry and literature into a thrilling synthesis and celebration of life, Adam Zwig is a "rock and roll therapist" whose groundbreaking, ever-evolving dual career encompasses years of experience as a professional psychotherapist, hit song-writer, and touring musician. Because his workshops are like concerts and vice versa-and he's been compared favorably throughout his career to Bob Dylan and Neil Young--Seattle Musician once dubbed him the "rock and roll guru" and "professor of rockology." Committed to lighting the divine spark in his patients and fans, Zwig sees the seamless blend of his therapy and music as reflections of his mission as a "psycho-spiritual pyromaniac."

This review is from: Cast Iron Letters (Audio CD)

Originally released by Seattle-based Conscious Records in 2006, which is the version I have, this re-release reprises Zwig's pleasing sound. As a vocalist, Zwig has a soft voice that can sound gentle. Although not the most versatile voice, he uses the vocal pipes he was given to good effect. For those of us who loved TV's "Alias," the hit here is probably "Who Killed Michael Vaughn?" The catchy chorus punctuates churning verses with a piano sparking the arrangement, "'Not I,' said the man standing on the street, 'I only heard about it watching TV. What's that fighting about anyway? They must be doing it for me for some reason they say.'" "Eagles Coat" is an intriguing track, kind of a soft poetic rap with the vocals mixed low like an instrument, "He was ready for a good time." "Freedom Flashing" sounds like a renegade track from the folk era of the 60s, "Sounds of freedom flashing upon the universe, for every soul forsaken & for every grain accursed." Other tracks like the opener "Castaways" & "I Think He Understands" are also strong. This independent release has meat to it, not for superficial listening, nevertheless rewarding. Enjoy!
