Reviews

Olivia Dobbs	I must have burned a hole in this CD from listening to it so much! Josh Perlman combines brilliant lyrics with catchy tunes. It is a treat to own this CD. Read more...
erin	Josh is the next jack johnson Josh Perlman is one of the most interesting song writers i have had the pleasure of listening to. I have grown to love his music and rank him right up there in my hall of fame with ben harper, jack johnson, john prine, jackson browne and damien rice. This CD is a must for anyone's collection. Enchanting rythem, thought provoking lyrics, and quirky tunes. you will find it all here. Read more...
Marisa	Next Jack Johnson?! Sometimes it takes a while for a songwriter to get the attention he deserves. In this case Josh is not the next Jack Johnson, he is the much more raw original. He does not fit into the existing pop manipulations of the folk genre, nor is he totally folk himself. While he does pay a delicate tribute to his musical influences, he does not take the successes of the folk genre and just use them as a formula. And in his lyrics is a darkness that is not recycled, it is completely his own and will strike you as mythic in its familiarity yet centered on a dilemma that belongs entirely to the 21st century: how do we cast about in this cynical, frank, sarcastic time, and still make our words and actions mean a thing? He takes risks, you can feel it in the music, that his heart is on the line here. He may never make it big, but um, big isn't folk, by definition. Read more...

Chelsea	Only gets better with listening. The lyrics on this album are clever, and the melodies stay with you. The songs only get better with listening. Columbia University students and alumni shouldn't miss Superficial Friend. My personal favorite (of the moment) is Alice. It's a gorgeous, haunting story. Read more...
Alejandro	Speechless Hola Josh, me ha encantado tu CD, ¡es increíble! ¡Bravo! Espero poder hablar contigo de un par de cosas que me gustaría compartir sobre música y mis paranoias. Acuérdate de traerme las letras de tus canciones el jueves si puedes quedar para nuestro intercambio. ¡Un abrazo! ALEJANDRO Read more...
paula	still listening after a year and still enchanting. you 're not the best singer, but you've got the spirit. ever giving me chickenskin. beso Read more...
peter	one of the great I have listened to this album more than any other album i own. The first time you hear the songs they are amazing and with each listen they only get better. I highly recommend this album and would recommend this album to any of my friends. If you are a fan of bob dylan i think track 3 will blow you away. If your at the tail-end of a bad relationship the is no consolation like Liza's apartment. In summary if its this album or any other album you would not go wrong with the Cure for Death Read more...
