Acoustic Son is another great artist from the bay area. This CD is full of wonderful written songs that are brought to the highest level by great vocal harmonies. I like every song on this CD and this is a great addition for any music collector.

Blending broken-heart lyrics with richly textured melodies, Acoustic Son could be the next group to emerge from the long tradition of San Francisco singer-songwriter groups to reach the spotlight.  Equally appealing, though, is their unique reworking of classic material wherein Acoustic Son lend their novel interpretive skills to the melody and the lyric. In the long history of invention and recreation, Acoustic Son shines in the interpretive mood of the landscape of song.

I first heard Acoustic Son at a gig. I was in awe. What had been missing from the SF Bay Area music scene for the last 25 years had unfolded before me: A band with strong lead and backing vocals, hip arrangements and lyrics that stir the senses. Wow.
In an age of Ashlee Simpson, Brittany Spears, the Back Street Boys and InSync Acoustic Son is the precious relief from the hype of  Plastic Surgery Pop music. Their 2nd CD "Time in the Middle" is a collection of precious insights to the soul, the everyday quandaryies of life and the precarious nature of love. You have to have this in your collection.
