4.0 out of 5 stars Good album, August 20, 2000

Lyrically deeper and more musically complex than their first two albums, Brother Cane shows their talent on this record. I admit, I don't care for this album as much as the first two. It's great, but a bit too much of a departure from their earlier work. Stand-out tracks are "I Lie in the Bed I Make", "Wishpool", and "I Look for Something More". While good, their are a few songs that just seem to rub me the wrong way, "The Crow Flies" and especially "Come Alive Again". They redeem themselves with the last four cuts on the album, however, perhaps the four most well-crafted songs they ever wrote. This is still one of the best rock albums around, but it just doesn't hit you with the same power the their first two records.

Damon Johnson is an excellent singer and his band mates are just as good. Wishpool is an obvious showcase of their talent. I did not feel that this CD was as strong of a release as Seeds. There isn't a track that stands out like "And Fools Shine On" or "Got No Shame" from their debut release. That doesn't make this a bad CD though. The music is above and beyond most of those Rock CD's that you hear these days. My personal favorite is "I Lie in the Bed I make", but there isn't a bad cut on the whole CD. For Brother Cane fans, this is a must own. For all others...you owe it to yourself to check this CD out.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I Surrender" to Wishpool, January 15, 2000

The best rock I've heard in years! After listening repeatedly to this CD, I quickly got hold of "Seeds" and their debut. All 3 are great. But let's get back to Wishpool. The CD opens with the title track, a grab-you-by-the-throat rocker, and ends with "Human After All" , a killer rock ballad. The CD is filled with great songs. Machete, The Crow Flies, and Come Alive Again show Brother Cane's power. The best song, for me, is "I Surrender", great vocals, great guitar work. You may hear some influence: Aerosmith comes to mind on occasion, which is actually quite fitting, since this album "Rocks". I owe a debt of gratitiude to a friend who answered my "who's Brother Cane" remark by lending me "Wishpool". I heard the band may be on some sort of hiatus. As rock and rock fans, let's hope not. Great CD !
