Title: Beautiful and Clever
Product review: This album is my first introduction to the world of Stew, and I am definitely hooked. My taste in music varies widely, but I tend to go for faster, more electric sounds over all. "Something Deeper Than These Changes" is extremely mellow and accoustic, and I absolutely love it. The lyrics are incredibly clever, such as "Statue Song", and often endearingly sweet, as in "The Sun I Always Wanted". Back up vocalist and co-producer, Heidi, gives a wonderfully light contrast to Stew's rich, deep voice. This album's sound is somewhat simliar to John Cale and Leonard Cohen; however, I really hate to pin him to a particular sound or era. It's the kind of album that goes well with a long car drive in the rain.
