| 3/1/2006 | First Review of The Western Wind's Newest CD, The Man the Moon “The Western Wind vocal sextet handles his music with proprietary flair… Best of all is Dennis’s penchant for being witty and serious at the same time. For all the clever touches in the ‘Harp Weaver,’ an extended set of reminiscences and dreamy visions of the maternal presence in life, nothing is the least bit glib, and the touching sentiments of the poem come through loud and clear. Deftly crafted stuff it is, and I’m sure you’d enjoy hearing it.” The American Record Guide Click here for more information and to purchase. |
