What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Dear Leonard, what the hell have you done? A perfectly good catalogue, and then you do this. This will wrap up my Leonard listening for awhile, being his last release, and I'm hoping there is no more to follow. I do not want his legend further tarnished. Ten good albums is not a bad career. This eleventh starts off with some nice sax on the leadoff track. Nothing like good sax first thing in the morning to start the day. Like the last album, this is heavy on the female vocals, sometimes even taking the lead away from Leonard. Same vocalists with Sharon Robinson, Anjani Thomas and Leanne Ungar. A couple of spoken word tracks by Leonard other than actual singing. Of course most say Leonard couldn't sing anyway. Title track is horrendous, when he starts spelling the lyrics. Unfortunately my favorite here is one of the female foreground tracks, Nightingale. I can only hope Leonard can forgive me for jumping off the train here. My journey is over.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Dear Heather

Best Track - Nightingale

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
‘Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
‘Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
