Impressive!
author: Laurea Ann Sherritt
Brian Gari is truly an impressive songwriter. As a decades-long fan, I have enjoyed all of his music, but HE’S AN OLD CAT, his most recent album, has risen to the top of my list. This eclectic collection showcases his beautifully crafted melodies and insightful lyrics. Brian’s story songs are my favorite, Letter to Norma, The California Dream and My Father’s Cat (Kleenex required on the last one).

This Is Where The Music Went
author: Edgar Bullington
When Brian Gari writes "Where Did The Music Go?" he's really asking about the "pop" vinyl single ("45" to those of us old cats who pre-date the CD). If there were still a pop 45 market, this album would produce a strong handful. In the absence of that market, these songs will all program well on any of the cable pop channels you may listen to at home. The melodies are friendly - Brian's melodies are consistently flowing and well hooked. His lyrics tell stories or paint realistic pictures made all the more personal by his vibrant singing. In other words this album is a great success. Listened to in pieces, it is a listenable collection of pop singles. Listened to as an album, it is sequenced to tell of life, love and romance in all their frustrations, surprises, and pleasures. It will be in my "play pile" for a long time.
