Title: Not Worth All the Fuss ...
Product review: I had high expectations when I started listening to Mr. Calhoun's music. I'd read about what an outstanding songwriter he was (even favorably compared to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen), but I was unfamiliar with his work. So I ordered two of his albums. I couldn't wait to listen and be moved by the lyrics.My impression of his songwriting is that he is repetitious, simplistic, and sometimes even childlike - as if he was writing an album of children's songs. He always goes for the easy rhyme and, when all else fails, just repeats the same line over and over again.If you want to listen to some fine songwriting, I suggest you listen to the music of Stan Rogers, or John Gorka. Rating Mr. Calhoun's work with the likes of Dylan and Cohen is akin to blasphemy!
