PAUL BRETT

Plenty of joy and amusement here, not tons and endless layers of serious keyboard wizardry. But a wizard indeed Paul is, of other kind. He brings out very good fingerpicking, strumming, tapping, all suited to a folk acoustic guitar player like him. Good singing too. But don't be alarmed, here there's something for the unrepentant progger too, in the form of metric oddities underlying these apparently inoffensive songs, also a touch or two of modality here, and changing accents there. Count in the sweet contribution of the band, and there you have served your unexpected feast, highlighting nice violin & flute incursions, and a killer cover version of George Harrison's Here Comes The Sun.
