5.0 out of 5 stars First CD I have bought in two years, May 10, 2008

I heard Griffin House for the first time this past April when he appeared on NPR, shortly before the release of this album. They played a few of the tracks, and I just had to stop everything I was doing to listen. It has been years since a new release has done this for me. For the last two years I have just bought songs on I-tunes but never a whole CD. The track Its Happening Again is profound, hart hitting folk, that would make Bob Dylan or Phil Ochs proud. When I try to describe Griffin House to friends I tell them his sound is 60% Dylan, 20% Bono, with a pinch or Springstien, Harrison, and Van Morrison. Griffin House writes deep, colorful, insigtful lyrics mostly about relationships be they with woman, friends, or family. The acoustic guitar and vocals are superb. This one will wow you and remind people of the bygone era when musicians were artists who made music instead of a seeming endless chain of contrieved, cookie-cutter, teen star pop crap.

Definitely a laid back mood and initially reminded me of Jack Johnson but as you dig deeper GF feels a lot more serious and more like a stroy teller. "Better than Love", "I remember" are defninitely a must. "I remember" reminds me of Johnny Cash for some reason. "The Guy That Says Goodbye.." is also great but you can also find it on the "Homecoming" album. I would recommend getting the whole album and also picking up "Lost & Found" album too.

Just happened to see Griffin House in concert yesterday, touring with Sons of William (more great music!). A fine evening of music! Flying Upside Down is an excellent CD. Griffin seems like a very likeable guy. I wish him continued success and look forward to new releases and tours. If you are unsure, go to his website and listen.
