Raison d'Etre for England
author: Addie
I recently had the chance to take this CD as a gift to some friends that live in Stratford-Upon-Avon in England. The gentleman I gave it to sings traditional English folk music, and he especially enjoyed the "trad" tunes on the album. After hearing about the Shakespeare connection of "Be True" when Raison played in Cincinnati, it seemed fitting to take it back to Shakespeare's home town! Hooray for Polonius and Raison d'Etre!

"Hearts Content" provides the best of both worlds
author: Dixie Hoffman
Yes! "Hearts Content" provides the best of both worlds to this listener -- cover songs, and originals. The CD contains wonderful arrangements of some longtime "classic" favorites like Neil Young's "After the Goldrush", Jesse Winchester's "Nothing But a Breeze", and Michael Nesmith's "Some of Shelly's Blues". Included in the five original songs is "I've Got the Heart", which gives me chills (and that's a good thing), and the haunting "Broken Radio" (another choice cut). Raison D'Etre's voices perfectly complement each other, making for a very enjoyable collection of music. See if you can play this CD all the way through without stopping to repeat certain cuts -- I certainly can't!!
