5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice acoustic singer/songwriter album, September 8, 2009

I enjoy this album as a whole quite a bit. Very good production values showcase these singers' excellent voices and guitar work. If you enjoy interesting songs sung very well and simply accompanied, then you should enjoy this. Think Joni Mitchell or Don McLean or Anna Nalick or Ray LaMontagne, to name a few I own. (However, I don't yet know if most of these tracks were written by the respective singer as that info is missing from the tags.) In my personal library I rated all the tracks at 4 stars, except #5 which got 5 stars, and #6 which got 3. I'm very pleased I downloaded it, and will be looking around for more from some of these artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars A happy find, October 12, 2009

Before downloading this album, I was not familiar with any of the artists on the sampler. I am now, and happy for the find. The tracks by Will Hoge, Sam & Ruby, Jupiter One, and Leslie Mendelson are especially strong. If the purpose of this sampler is to entice us to want more, it's a success.

Noticed I'm the first reviewer to give this album less than five stars. That's not to take anything away from this sampler; as far as I'm concerned five stars is for only the most exceptional works: Tapestry, Rumours, August and Everything After, etc. Here's the bottom line: Flash of Light Sampler is strong and worth a listen.

I really enjoyed listening to this album. The artists voices come across clean and clear, not over come by the instruments. I would recommend this to others and look for the artists new songs which I'm sure there will be more of.
