5.0 out of 5 stars Just Get it!, December 19, 1999

I was first exposed to Richard Shindell through my sister Joanie who guests on a couple of flute tracks on the record. I hadn't heard of Richard at the time, but boy was I sure glad she gave me a copy. It blew me away and I've picked up every Shindell album since. I'm never disappointed with a Shindell album, but this just may be his best. The lyrics on this album come to life in a way that you feel you're a character in each song and his vocal style is as pleasant as any I've heard. You won't be disappointed!

Great record! I've been wondering for ages who this guy was. I'd heard a Dar Williams cover and a song on a compilation, but it wasn't until the CRY CRY CRY cd that I finally put it all together. This guy is something special.Incredible writer. Voice that makes you weep.A great addition to the list of introspective male singers.If you like David Wilcox or John Gorka(or Jackson Brown or James Taylor for that matter)you'll love this guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best cd I've ever heard!, November 1, 1998

If there was a law that you could only own 1 cd forever, this would be my choice. Richard Shindell tells stories of places and times that stay with you. His voice and guitar playing are phenominal! In one word, awesome! Per a dictionary....An emotion of mingled reverence dread and wonder inspired by something majestic or sublime. Awesome is truly the correct word!
