5.0 out of 5 stars Eric Bogle is one of the most compelling lyricists ever., May 6, 1998

This review is from: Scraps of Paper (Audio CD)

On so many compelling themes, Eric Bogle has composed some of the most meaningful and artistic lyrics and music of anyone I have ever heard. His thematic range is virtually unlimited. From anti-war to social conscientious themes on children and the elderly he blows me away with the creativity and flow of his words and music. I have heard him live in concert here in Ballard (Seattle) and was not disappointed. Anyone who is moved by socially compelling themes in a folk/coffee house style should become familiar with Eric Bogle. He also has a lot of fun, funny, lively, music as well! I put him right up there with Pete, Seger, Woodie Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springstine.

I heard "And they played Waltzing Matilda" on CBC for Anzac Day. I almost had to park for the weeping. This song has implications for the fighting in Iraq.

I had the pleasure to hear eric live @ a festival in Dunedin, NZ 15+ yrs ago. After which I purchased this album on tape and it still brings me pleasure to this day, particularly last track side 2. I have passed this to other people of all ages recently and they have all enjoyed listening to Eric and his music. I would totally recommend to all this album.
