Negative Positive
Title: Very good find, excellent for the folk music lover
Review: This is definitely a record that should be listened to. Piper brings all the elements of the folk artist together, as well as displaying quite a cross-section of interests and influences. In "All my Angels Past," Piper shows his talent and philisophical views as his lyrics impose. I can pick out three artists that have possibly influenced Piper; Bob Dylan, Don McLean, and Johnny Cash to name a few. But Piper has a style of his own, an individualism that makes his album a collector's item. His brassy vocals and harmonics on Jacarenda, and Jathida are catchy enough to leave you humming the rest of the day. The lyrics of Rudder and sail can be taken religiously, as well as philisophically, and Blood of Our Mother paints a picture in your mind of the past hardships of one family. In retrospect, for an album you can relate to, laugh with, reminesce with, and simply ENJOY for many years to come, I strongly recommend this album.
