5.0 out of 5 stars A GENIUS BEYOND COMPARE!"!!!!, October 10, 2005

This review is from: The Dragon is Dancing (Audio CD)

As i look at the 'music' available , in to-day's market, i wonder even more at the incredible talent evident still in the late 60's/early 70's singer-songwriters!!..Jackson Browne & Neil Young being "obvious favourites, however, if i had to name one individual artist that undoubtedly went beyond anyone else in terms of originality , and who truly truly blew me away, i wi0uld have to say ...Jimmie Spheeris!!! I happily own (& treasure)) all his albums..(to me, personally) "Ports of the Heart " stil remains his best....this album, now happily on c.d., "The Dragon is dancing" was also a true, true giant of an album, definitely some of his most haunting songs...the title & opening track will forever remain a classic piece of music!All of the songs here are memorable(as usual) "Lost in the midway" recalling his experiences working in the circus, is a mind-blowing tour-de-force, the lyrics, as with "Blue Streets" will haunt me for all time , and that voice ..just about the most magical/mystical voice you could ever imagine!!"Love's in vain" , is the one song i always will particularly cherish on this set ..a song that will always bring tears to my eyes ..it is so , so beautiful!!All of Jimmie Spheeris's albums were nothing less than masterpieces!!Definitely one of the greatest singers & songwriters of ALL TIME!!..BUY!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master, July 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Dragon is Dancing (Audio CD)

As usual, he has done it again. This is an excellent follow up to the two previous works by this great artist. I have been waiting for 10 years to hear this music again (I previously owned only the record) and it is even better than I remember. The whispers rising to intense pounding beat. Awesome, he was truly the master and lightyears ahead of his time. I highly recommend all of his works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for acoustic folk fans, November 18, 2004

This review is from: The Dragon is Dancing (Audio CD)

In some ways, this CD may be one of Jimmie's most diverse works. It's introspective, joyful, with a good solid guitar riff backing in spots.

"Lost in the Midway" talks about his growing up with the circus.

"Tequila Moonlight" talks about the joy of being young and alive.

"Mr Snake Man" Who says daughters of Eve are through with temptation?

And, that's just the beginning. Take a trip with Jimmie to the various vignettes of his mind. Prepare to be lost at times, but when you find yourself--what a joy!
