Masterpiece waiting to be heard.
author: Phil Lindberg
This is a masterpiece of what TRUE music is about. The fact that the entire album was written, produced, and arranged by the artist...says it all. Very well put together. Different songs for different genres. A cd worth adding to any music connoisseur's collection. Great Job.

Fantastic CD!

This is one of the best indie CD out there today. I loved the songs previewed on the album. What is great is I loved all the songs I listened to. While on most other CDs I'll just like 1 or 2 songs. I personally loved "Mary", "Merciless Morning", my personal favorite was "Venus Eyes". Many of his songs hit different genres!. I recommend everyone buy this Album!

Absolutely stunning... A breath of fresh air!!

We all go through those periods when we look at our entire CD collection and say "YUCK!". After that we say a silent prayer to the CD god to send us a new album to renew our faith in music. Jonah Brockman's MERCILESS MORNING hits the spot! You'll be listening to his inner heart with every track. God bless this guy's parents. They did a wonderful job!
As a songwriter, Jonah has a very unique perspective. it's a hybrid or worldly wisdom and childlike innocence. It's as though he's experiencing everything he's writing about for the first time and he's thrilled with the new discoveries. The consistency is pretty solid too. Each track is well polished and beautifully worded.
His sound is that of shimmering pop, without the computers. His melodies are graceful and catchy as all get out. His voice has a similar timbre as Dave Matthews but (with all due respect) his falsetto is far better. There's a clarity in John's voice that I don't experience in Dave's either. The tones are both fun and reflective. Great album to clean your house to on a Saturday!
By buying this album you're basically purchasing the diary of a bright young man looking at the world through newly acquired adult eyes. It's positively enchanting.
