5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yet!, June 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Far From Over (Audio CD)

As a long-time Edwin McCain fan, I was really looking forward to this release, and was definitely not disappointed! Edwin & company have put out a smashing album! Heavier on the electric guitars, perhaps, than past albums, the energy here is closer to the vibe of their amazing live shows. This cd has a bit of everything--sweet ballads like "Hearts Fall", cynical humor on "Radio Star", the heart-on-your-sleeve emotion of "Letter to my Mother" and the infectious "sing along at the top of your lungs" songs like the title track "Far From Over" and "Sun Will Rise" (I cannot get these songs out of my head!). This is a fabulous, must-own cd--"far from over" is the perfect description for this band's career; they are absolutely amazing!

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent... but not my favorite album by this band, August 17, 2001

it's listenable. something that you can put in the cd player and listen all the way through without having to skip songs that aren't as good. catchy, too. ever since i bought it, "hearts fall" and "write me a song" get stuck in my head(that's not a bad thing).

however, i have two other edwin mccain cds, Messenger and Misguided Roses, both of which i love. Far From Over is simply missing some rich quality the previous two possess. The song on the new album, "write me a song", is just beautiful, though. overall, i strongly recommend that any edwin fan buy this cd. or if you're just looking for something different than everyday pop radio, Far From Over is extremely refreshing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here's Hoping It's "Far From Over"!!!, July 6, 2001

A life-long James Taylor fan, I discovered Edwin McCain when for the second time my ears perked up and I thought "Who is that wonderful voice?" The first time was "I'll Be" and then "I Could Not Ask For More". This album offers every facet of Edwin and the band. The ballads are here, along with the blues, some rockin'-drivin'-with-the-top-down tunes and best of all ~ Edwin's sincere, fun loving personality shining through. To me, this is Edwin and the band, as they are in concert; and I've never seen a better live show. A magical blend of music, with accent on the sax, this one will take a permanant place in your CD changer!
