Drinking with a girl should be in everyones jukebox. An upbeat elliott smith but not as hip hoppy as J MRAZ . I saw him open for j mraz last year in Santa Barbaa and really enjoyed him. You need to see him live than the cd will just knock your scoks off.

I bought this CD last night after hearing Chacon play live at The Bluebird Cafe, where he electrified the crowd with a mixture of lyrical depth, vocal talent, and stage presence.

I defy you to listen to "Murder" and be unmoved by the raw honesty of the vocals, to say nothing of the haunting guitar chords and lyrics that belie their author's youth. This emotional intensity permeates the album, especially tracks like "I Want To," "Drinking With a Girl," and the incomparable "Walking Through the Day," a song that sounds wholly different (and equally beautiful) acoustically.

If we are lucky, this will be but the first taste of what Chacon has to offer.

I saw Thom Chacon open for Jason Mraz years ago and was blown away by his honest and truthful music. His songs touched my musical heart with the sincerity in each lyric. A MUST HAVE album. I'm still waitng for more from him.

I used to be a DJ at my small college's radio station. I have to say, it was soon after I started, I came across the cd. I played the song "murder" and I have to say I was hooked. The cd is amazing. I would play that song every show I had and later would start playing "pedestrian" and others. I have to say that the songs are good and have a nice beat to them, but it is mellow and a good listen. It is very good just to sit back and listen and relax. I give the album, 5 stars, I would reccomend it to everyone who likes electric/acoustic music. This is a must have.
