For those of you who have followed the thread of music that Chris Hickey has produced over the decades, this is an essential addition to your too small collection. As always with Chris Hickey, the melodies float from the speakers, and the lyrics sit inside your head until all the layers of meaning come together. There are plenty of songs that will leave your mouth and brain humming. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there are only 11 songs including 3 reworked songs from his last band.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best folk albums of the year, March 4, 2004

I've been a longtime fan of Chris Hickey's music, having played the heck out of his first two albums on my college radio show in the 80s. Got to see him in a small club in Lancaster, PA, and was greatly impressed with his warmth and humor. This is a beautiful and personal album of grace. His voice (somewhat reminiscent of Michael Stipe back when he used to sing) and his songwriting remain in top form. Sally Dworsky's voice provides perfect accompaniment on a number of songs (she performed with Chris in the folk-rock band Uma). If you're looking for a new discovery that will touch your heart deeply, give this a try.

I saw Uma, (Chris Hickey's band), in concert a few years ago, bought their album on the spot, and recently followed an impulse to play that cd, which I hadn't heard for a while, thoroughly enjoying it all over again. So I wanted to know what they were up to, only to be disappointed that they were no longer together. I figured then that I should look for Chris Hickey and see what he was up to, found "Release", bought it, and have been listening to it for a week now. It hardly leaves my cd player! It is superb! The songs have such depth and personal warmth. Three of the songs were originally from the Uma album, and I believe I like these newer versions even better. It was wonderful to hear Sally Dworsky sing with him on this album too, as their voices are so perfect together.
I only wish the album was longer. I'll be watching for the next one!
