5.0 out of 5 stars Another phenomenal album from Kevin Welch, July 16, 2002

By	C. Williamson (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here's a guy who deserves a whole lot more attention than he has now. Kevin Welch is one of the finest singer-songwriters working today. The music and lyrics he creates are rough-cut gems, and he performs them brilliantly. Like most great music, it's hard to categorize Welch's sound -- folk-rock, country rock, who cares? Just listen and enjoy. Welch is joined by several Danish musicians here, and they provide him with great support. You'll find a wide variety of songs, from the bare-bones "Witness," which provides enough dramatic material for a screenplay, to the haunting "The Sun King and the Winter Moon" to the robust wall of sound of "Stray Dog." MILLIONAIRE is another big step forward for this strong and soulful musician.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fresh approach to Americana, October 8, 2002

By	"high_fidelity" (TN) - See all my reviews

I just picked up Kevin Welch's new CD `Millionaire'. I particularly like the mellow title track, "Blanket of Snow", and his cover of Van Morrison's "Queen of the Slipstream". "Killing Myself" first caught my attention on the radio with its bluesy dobro work, and the muted trumpets are a nice rare touch on an Americana record. The album has a good mix of ballads and tight rockers. The Danes provide a powerful backing on the rockers "Choose To Believe", "I Can Sure Love You", and John Hadley's "Long Cold Train", and a gentle touch on tracks like "The Sun King and the Winter Moon" with it's prominent mandolin playing. The arrangements are very tasteful, while still cutting loose with some searing guitar work on "Choose To Believe" and the confident horn/guitar driven "I Can Sure Love You". I would highly recommend this to any fan of singer-songwriter and Americana genres.

One of the best albums from Kevin Welch. 2 great songs in particular, "Millionaire" and "Queen of the Slipstream" are exceptional. Highly recommended.
