5.0 out of 5 stars Their first and maybe their best, October 19, 1998

Big Umbrella are one of the most overlooked bands in music. Each and everyone of their albums is a compositional triumph. Lead singer/guitarist Russell Osiecki once said that he no longer wrote love songs because "the Beatles already wrote the best." Still he comes up with a few gems like "You Know Better," "Big Umbrella," "Way of Storms," and the stellar "Joy." Anyone searching for intelligent and emotionally thought provoking pop should check out Big Umbrella.

I bought Big Umbrella when I heard that this Band was a few very Old Friends...Russell and Derek Osieki and their awesome Drummer Eddie Cleland. These guys have been around under various names since the late seventies...you gotta support Friends! So of course I bought the CD's on Amazon. : ) Russell Osieki is a great song writer and now lives in Southern California, Derek is still located in Las Vegas and Eddie Cleland is still bangin it up in the L.A. Club Scene. You can find Derek on Facebook and Eddie on Facebook and MySpace these days.
