I just got this CD in the mail and I've already listened to it twice. As a pianist, Alex Grant rates right up there with Yanni, David Lanz and Jim Brinkman. The addition of strings on some of the pieces add depth and emotion. I highly recommend this CD and will no doubt be buying more of Alex Grant's work in the near future!!

I own all three of Alex Grant's albums and this is definitely my favorite. His music is warm and inviting but hardly your usual background piano music; it is engaging and successfully transitions between complexity and simplicity. My favorite track is Chasing Fireflies. I recommend this album for anyone who enjoys the beautiful things in life. Alex Grant's music is one of those things.

I found this CD totally by mistake - but some mistakes are worth making as I quickly discovered.

Probably the most hauntingly beautiful and relaxing music I've ever heard.

Value for money? I don't think I've ever bought a CD that I liked every track on until now.

A composer destined for great things. From what I've read Grant has been out there for 10 years - I'm just stunned he is not more recognized. Can't wait to buy more of his work.

I ran across "El Chupacabra" on last.fm, and had to get it. Then I listened to the sample tracks of Old Father Road, and decided that I had to get MORE of Alex's music. I'm very, very impressed. His musicality is delightfully refreshing and invigorating.

This is a wonderful CD. I bought it for "El Chupacabra", the opening song and the CD is worth it for just this song alone! However, the whole CD is fantastic; great piano music.
