5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Political Commentary and Soulfully Moving, April 2, 2002

This review is from: In My Heart: Live in Holland (Audio CD)

I grew up listening to Si Kahn in the backseat of my parents' car on long road trips from Vancouver to Carolina and back. I never though that 18 years later I would revisit his music for its political commentary, its beautiful sentiment and strong verse, and its strength. Striking on influences like Phil Ochs and Pete Seeger, Si Kahn is truly among the great folk artist of the past century.
Personally, I love his music because it bring me back to my roots...but anyone who listens will soon find the emotion and strength behind his lyrics and voice.

5.0 out of 5 stars laid back cd, October 29, 2008

This review is from: In My Heart: Live in Holland (Audio CD)

This is a greatest hits-type cd, recorded live in Holland. It's just Kahn and his guitar, delivering great lyrics and melodies in a laid back fashion. If you want his music with more instrumentation, try the fantastic cd: "Doing My Job" (backed by the Red Clay Ramblers) or, with a little less instrumentation: "New Wood."

Everyone with an interest in good solid songwriting should know about Si Kahn. he's a union organiser from North Carolina. At least he was when I saw him years ago on tour in England. He was driving around with Roy Bailey in a car, doing folk clubs. He was on annual holidays from his unions job.

Not a flash guitarrist, perhaps, but his songs oozed soul and reality, and he was a great raconteur on stage. Met him afterwards when we bought a few cassettes ( yeah, THAT long ago). He was full of dry humour and generosity.

He doesn't seek the bigtime, has stuck to his vocation. And most of his songs I've come to know through other performers ( e.g. Dick gaughan, Fureys, Planxty, Eddi Reader, Roy Bailey ). that's the power and integrity of this fella.

Great songs.
