5.0 out of 5 stars Sad songs for a winter's night, January 7, 2001

This review is from: LET IT FALL (Audio CD)

Gorgeous, melancholy music, evocative lyrics and imagery of loneliness. A unique sound, piano based, synth top with choral work grounded by the artist's lyrical baritone. Kind of folk, kind of jazz, very personal. The songs invite you in with repeated listening and have many layers and colors, like all good work. Overall sad songs, which is not a bad thing, though title song is more upbeat and almost swings.And it's always a rare treat to hear a man sing a love song to another man (Willie).

5.0 out of 5 stars Unusually beautiful sounds and pictures, February 21, 2001

This review is from: Let It Fall (Audio CD)

Unusually beautiful sounds and pictures permeate this extraordinary collection of songs of the soul. Richard Isen uses his instruments, including his own voice, in a particular, penetrating way. THE WAY THE WAVES come is the loveliest, saddest song I've heard in a long time.

I bought this CD to hear the cover of Joni Mitchell's "Willie". If you're a fan of Joni's piano stylings from Blue & Ladies of the Canyon, this will appeal to you. Richard's piano is mournful & beautiful, his voice is soothing and melancholy, and his skill as a composer is very strong. He is more concerned with creating musical "textures" than writing "pop" songs. When you play this CD, you won't leave with tunes in your head, but you will want to hear it again & again!
