Sometimes a CD comes along that takes you by surprise and within seconds you get a lovely warm toasty feeling listening to the music. Now usually I get this feeling when I turn to a song or an album that Ive known for agesthe ever faithful stand by from a classic artist that you turn to in moments of need(mine is usually Nick Drake)pressing play on the CD player or on the pc and instantly you are transported to a good feelinga mood changer be it raising you up or down from where you are at that point in time. I was so pleasantly surprised to get that feeling with this CD-from the get go it took me into a real good mood. The songs have a wonderful range of styles that are interlinked by the special voice of Frank Joshua. Rain is a special heart shaped song that burns like a toasty warm fireBluebell Wood offers smart electronic noodlings to a real builder of a song. Kiss is a gentle folk song in a a singer/songwriter mode which reminds me of Richard Hawley. Cry blue is a pop song the likes of which havent been as well delivered since Prefab Sprout were in their pomp. Mad about you is a shimmering pop song with the lovely glow I am starting to expect from Frank Joshua. The final track Kiss sees Frank in a duet with an unknown(to me) female singer and this version adds a nice native take on the previous version. All in allthis is a wonderfully warm and brilliantly delivered CD. If you like artists like Prefab Sprout and Richard Hawley and the lesser know but not lesser talented Cleemann and Dan Whitehouse you will love this. It really took me by surprise and I really like surprises like this one. Highly recommended:-)). Johnno - Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004M1DI84/
