Soulful !

Riddle writes songs about life using environmental metaphors that gives his lyrics more depth. Another prevailing theme of his songs is that changes can be difficult but in the end things will work out. This eleven-track collection is mainly folk rock but flows into a number of other tuneful directions. Watchers of the Wood has additional musicians who play rock instruments such as the electric guitar, bass and drums to give Phil's songs a fuller sound. Other tracks include string instruments, the Dobro, a Celtic Harp, flute and horns. These extra instruments add diverse textures and tones to Riddle's crisp vocals and acoustic guitar based songs. My favorite tracks happened to be the more up-tempo songs. 'Don't Say It Again' features some fancy guitar work and catchy vocal inflections. The song has a country flair blending with a solid rock sound. 'A La Mode' is a jazzy treat topped off with witty lyrics. Kentuck has created a soulful CD filled with warmth, humor and hope and all profits from its sale will be donated to charity.
