What
I perhaps love most about this compact disc is the packaging, but that doesn’t
in any way underestimate the value of the music on here. These are some folk songs of sorts, but the
word folk gets thrown around so much I’m almost hesitant to use it here. These really are just some good songs though
and if you have Benjamin Poole’s cassette, as I suggested, then this is just as
worth picking up.
Not
that long ago, only within a matter of years, digital music managed to kill the
compact disc. It was a death that most
people did not care about and for me personally, I couldn’t have been
happier. CDs had become so mass produced
and impersonal that I was sick and tired of not only buying them but also
receiving them for free. (That is a pathway
to another story for another time though, which in part explains my absence
from writing about music for a few years)
“Sing
Yourself Better” is very personal, not just musically, and it seems like
something that someone would make as a musician and just sort of hand out to
their friends and family like, “Hey, here’s some songs I made”. And that in no way is meant to undercut the
quality of the production here (and other word Warner Bros. probably likes to
use), but yeah, I’m getting back into CDs again, but I’m being very choosy this
time around. This is one that you should
choose.
