I just finally got this cd added to my collection of Neal's albums, and it's an amazing showcase of his years of music making. If you aren't well versed in Neal's work, I suggest you start with his first solo album, "Fade Away Diamond Time"...But to get an overview of his career, please, please buy this album at your earliest convenience. It's very hard to peg Neal's music into one category, because he never seems to stay in one vein..which makes him so interesting to listen to, he can do some amazing things with his voice and his music.
I know that my life has been made better because I have had the chance to love and adore his music, I used to dance gently around the living room with my infant son when "Fadeaway" came out...so he really was very special to me. Then I found out he shares his birthday with my daughter...they were born 30 years apart. Then I finally got to meet him at some shows with his side band Hazy Malaze...I would consider him a pal. I hope that anyone reading this will take the time to check out Neal and find out what I have known for years, Neal Casal is incredible!

I must admit, I wasn't familiar with Neal Casal's work before a couple months ago, when his slinky remake of "Wishing Well" (yes, the old Terence Trent D'Arby hit) got lodged in my brain. I decided I could do worse than spend a few bucks for a greatest hits collection. I generally listen to CDs on my computer while I work. So, I slipped in Leaving Traces and....nothing. For the first couple of plays, it's as if the music made no impact. I figured, well, like a lot of talented instrumentalists, Casal just has no knack for writing memorable melodies.

Then I stuck the CD into the tray again the other day, and, well, it's refused to leave. "Free to Go." "Fremont Row." "Eddie & Diamonds." How did I not hear about this guy before? It definitely took a bit of time before his work to take hold, but it was worth the wait.
