Title: Marc Cohn once again dazzles with a show of skill and heart.
Review: Marc Cohn followes up his self-titled debut album with this well crafted collection. Mr. Cohn shows his vast musical knowledge by dabbling with various genres of music, including some folk sounds reinforced with the unexpected sound of a Wurlitzer organ. Listen closely to the title track for the unmistakable Bonnie Raitt guitar harmonies. 'Medicine Man' carries some intriguing literary references, and spotlights some southern influence. 'The Things We've Handed Down' is an excellent example of this artist's ability to access and identify the factors which play on the human condition. In this touching lullaby to his unborn son, Mr. Cohn shows he has a rare ability to mix incredible songwriting skill with vulnerable and emotional elements. I really enjoyed the diversity displayed on this album, and it has become one of my own personal favorites. I hope that his works get more of the recognition they deserve.
