Your music makes me smile.
author: PamI bought this CD to help out Sebastian whose van burned up. Popped it in on a road trip; tapped my foot and smiled all the way. Thanks for some wonderful music.
Songs from "a Van"???
author: TrevJAn astounding album that makes you wonder why any artist even takes a step inside a studio... Let's hope that when Sabastian makes it into the studio he remembers this bench-mark album, and of course, the van.
A breath of clean fresh folk.
author: MeVeNThis CD is a must have to all who like some good folk music. Sebastian's voice is a soaring airplane of melodies in a Bob Ross "Happy Clouds" musical bed. I have been listening to this since I bought it and it has got me feelin' good. Buy two and give one to a friend. They will love you for it.
A breath of fresh air!!
author: R. J. GriegoThis CD is a must have in your collection! Great for all ages. Songs From a Van takes you back to an era when singers and song writers ruled! Everything you loved about the 60's and 70's that'll have your friends asking where they can pick up a copy!
I LOVE IT
author: Cas SandsSebastian clarks CD recaptures the soul of a generation that has gone somewhat "underground." His CD is amazing, between the amazing guitar playing andmasterful vocals and lyrics, i don't see how anyone can not like it.
Classic sound with energizingly fresh talent
author: The Leek NewsGreat old sound glistening with modern genious.
This record is absolutely fantastic.
author: Kelly ScottEveryone should listen to Songs From A Van. Its a great record, and I love how it brings back the classic sounds of the 60s and 70s with a new twist. Its fantastic, and if you have a van, its a necessity.
