Most moving performance on CD in the past decade.
Astounding talent. I wouldn't review this CD except the slag reviews that show up just dumbstruck me. There are 40 ish reviews on this site and almost everyone is five star. Two are one star. What were they listening to? Is the amplifier on? Is the CD in the right way up? Are all the dogs barking too loudly?
Give me more Sam. His new CD arrives this summer. Not soon enough.
this is one of the best cds i have ever heard. incredible songwriting.
We want more! We want more!
Very Very Cool, great voice great arts and sentiments, Waitin' for the next album. From Rome - Italy!
most rednecks wont ge t this, its way too cool, this one does, art performance art , rally great stuff
Love the voice. Love the songs. Waitin' for the next album.
A lucky strike on a UK radio show introduced me to Sam - its a real pleasure to come across music like this. The Tom Waits style delivery and cleverly emotive lyrics this has been a real hit with everyone I have played it to.
Went with my wife and friends to see Gurf Morley, Romy Mayes, and Sam Baker together @ Couville's in Beaumont a couple of weeks ago, and was blown away by Sam Baker's talent for story telling his music, with his unique Americana styled talent, and I thought it was some of the most memorable music I've heard in my 55 years.
WoW! I cant believe someone gave this album a bad review? I just saw him live at the Mucky Duck and it was amazing. Sam Baker writes songs like Hemingway writes books. He's so descriptive and honest you feel like your there in the song. I recomend this album to anyone who appreciates good music and when you get the chance, GO SEE HIM LIVE!
I just heard Sam for the first time at the Mucky Duck in Houston...I've been a songwriter for years and after seeing Sam I felt I've never even written a song yet !! Later that night I got a tune and told a story from my childhood that was inspired by Sam's songwriting...if you don't get what he writes about...it may take a few years of life lived...but some will never get it...truth and honesty scares alot of people....Sam keep giving us songs as they come to you...thanks for sharing your gift.
