Title: Great music--hire a singer
Review: The music here is very good; haunting, moody, ethereal. At times the lo-fi recording even adds to the ambience. When John starts singing, he loses me. When he sings in his normal voice, I can get used to it. It detracts from the music anyway, but I can handle it. But then on too many songs he reaches for a falsetto he can 't pull off and makes the songs unlistenable. If this were an instrumental CD I'd give it 4 stars for the style and his amazing ability to play the guitar. But the songs have words and John sings them and he shouldn't. I have listened to this CD over and over, but his voice never gets any better and in the end it lessens the songs for me.
