5.0 out of 5 stars And to think I'd never heard of him before!, June 9, 2002

This review is from: Misguided Roses (Audio CD)

I only came across this CD because I remembered a line from "I'll Be" and wanted to find out what song it was from. When I came across Edwin McCain, the first thing that popped into my mind was, "Who is he?" I had never heard of him before. However, after listening to some of the samples listed on Amazon and reading a couple reviews, I went ahead and bought "Misguided Roses." Let me tell you, it's not something I've regretted. Being a woodwind player of flute, alto and soprano saxophone and recently clarinet, I am very interested in the instrumentation that Edwin McCain uses in his songs. "I'll Be" has an interesting saxophone melody (which you most likely would not have noticed on the radio). In addition, "Darwin's Children" (a song that you will completely fall in love with if you are a fan of "I'll Be") uses baritone saxophone as a main feature of the song. The woodwind voice adds a certain quality to the music that you won't get in other rock bands. "Misguided Roses" is a CD that is good for long car drives, or anywhere, for that matter. When you're listening to Edwin McCain, there's no need to keep on skipping tracks - this CD is good the whole way through. And unlike some muisician[s] ..., Edwin McCain wrote all of the songs on the CD himself, adding a certain respect to his work. "Misguided Roses" is a CD that everyone should have! I definitely reccomend it. Like me, you wont regret buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only 5 stars? More like 500 stars!, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Misguided Roses (Audio CD)

I was appalled when I read some of the reviews of this incredible album. Most people bought it because of the song "I'll Be" but didn't like the rest of the album. Why not? Because EVERY song on the album has a different taste? Because EVERY song has a new and captivating flavor? I bought this album when I thirteen and it was exactly what I needed to get me through the year. He says all the right things, but it's more subliminal than straight-forward. Edwin McCain's music is a lot like poetry and his songs make you think, which I cannot say for many other performers out there. Not only does this album give hope and inspiration into the world, but it's a great listen while driving, jogging, or just relaxing. There's a song on here to fit every mood you could possibly be in. So when I say "more like 500 stars," I mean more like 500 stars!

I had never heard of Edwin McCain until I heard the song "I'll Be" on the radio a little while ago. I fell in love with it and would sing it throughout the day. Still though, I didn't know who was the brilliant singer. It wasn't until I saw the soundtrack for "A Cinderella Story" that I finally found out who sang this! I HAD to have the CD! I must say, although my favorite song is still probably "I'll Be", I love all of the songs on this CD. (Now I have more songs to sing throughout the day!!) Each song is different--and beautiful--in its own way. If you like "I'll Be", I'm sure you'll like the CD!
