Most Incredible Musical Artist
May 15 2004
Format:Audio CD
More not-so-simple simplicity and spiritually uplifting material from McFerrin. This album evokes so many feelings and might leave you with tears running down your face. Very unique and somewhat complex sounding production. A fine choice for any fan, or fan-yet-to-be.
Quite an unusual experience, and quite beautiful...
Feb 8 2004
Format:Audio CD
Fans of the unaccompanied voice have to love McFerrin. His own vocal instrument is fine, and his inventive musicianship and eclectic tastes are to be praised. This CD is a grab-bag of styles and feelings: overtly Christian in one selection (except for the minor wrinkle of changing God's traditional gender) and "New Agey" elsewhere; African and R & B, protesty, philosophical, choral and simple at various points. I agree with an earlier reviewer that I like Bobby's solo voice better than when he accompanies himself via multi-tracking, but I have to admit, the choral effect he achieves is not unpleasant at all. This is a strange and interesting product, and overall, quite easy on the ear.
Bobby's Most Underrated Album
Jan 14 2004
Format:Audio CD
Is Bobby McFerrin the best male singer (under the age of 60) in the business today? Some would say so, and point to examples not contained here. But this is a great album. The chanting-type mood set in songs such as "The Garden" and the title track give this album an unforgettable stamp. The set-ender, a quiet recreation of the 23rd Psalm, is guaranteed to put your alpha waves in order. Highly recommended.

Common Threads
Anyone who saw the documentary Common Threads: Stories From The Quilt will probably burst into tears listening to its namesake "Common Threads" track by association. Read more

magnificent music to heal your soul
This for me is Bobby McFerrin's masterpiece. Using mainly just his voice, he has created an album of songs which taken together celebrate all that is human and all that is holy. Read more

Haunts me
Bobby McFerrin's African and feminist-inspired music haunts me. While I love his instrumental work (with Chick Corea, for example), I most want to hear him sing. He's beautiful.

Sweet in the Mornin'
The more I listen to this CD, the more I love "Sweet in the Mornin'" (track 6). Just can't sit still through this. What glorious music.

Moves Me to the Core
The 12th track --- "The 23rd Psalm (Dedicated to My Mother) is worth the price of this CD. It's a musical prayer unlike any other. Read more

Arguably McFerrin's Best (at least his most diverse)
Although a few of these songs are longer than they need to be, most notably the 6:14 track "The Train," this is a pretty solid album which contains some of the absolute... Read more

Medicine Magic .... conjures aural waves of joy
A wondrous voice, an original thinker. A unique take on vocal music. Bobby McFerrin is a unique vocal stylest and virtuoso, who has a voice that can do virtually anything. Read more

Start of his departure
If one listens to Mcferrin's early Blue Note recordings (e.g. The Voice), and then just fast-forwards to "Circlesongs", one might say, "Wha... What happened? Read more

soothing and rhymically delightful
Bobby McFerrin produces an awesome mixture of mellow tunes and rhythms for the ears to enjoy. This album features a more spiritual side of McFerrin not always seen in some of his... Read more
