Editorial Reviews

Abulum is the first solo album from the memorable voice that defines Toad The Wet Sprocket. Singer and songwriter Glen Phillips draws from his personal and professional life’s journey and lays bare truths about people, relationships, being young and growing up. Co-produced with Ethan Johns, who has worked with Emmylou Harris, U2 and David Crosby, the album moves seamlessly between sad tales like ‘Men Just Leave’ to upbeat hooks like "Fred Meyers’ and too many shades in between.

I'm a big TTWS & Glen Phillips fan, and this is one of my favorites. Full of the melancholoy, sweet and humorous stories that Glen tells like only he can. I've owned this CD for over two years, and it just keeps getting better. The DVD has some very enjoyable, candid footage of Glen playing solo coffee shop shows - my favorite! Buy this set - you'll see what I mean!

I'm a relatively new Glen Phillips fan, but this album is tremendous and the songs are beautiful and thoughtful. It's a heck of a good deal, with a full CD of music and a wonderful concert DVD. On the latter, it is just Glen and his six-string acoustic guitar, but that's really all he needs, as fans of his well know. I was pleasantly surprised at how many songs there are on the concert DVD--what a delight. There is a little overlap between the two disks, but who cares? A fully produced studio version and a sparse, acoustic live version are, to me, like different songs. Only one slight caution: the CD and DVD are essentially "glued" together, back-to-back, and some computers will have trouble ejecting the disk. If you use a disk reader that is oriented horizontally, you should have no troubles. Great music, Glen--many thanks.
