Description: Simple Life", 2005 This gorgeous album of acoustic guitar, vocals and flutes is beautiful. Songs vary from the gentle finger-picking in the original title cut, like a laid back Alex de Grassi, to the multi-tracked strummed acoustic guitars on Cat Steven's "Peace Train." His rich warm voice sounds a bit like Stevens too. "Calling" is a highlight. He wrote it while at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, capturing the peacefulness of that place. It ends with repeating vocal harmonies intertwined with a low flute, like a chant. The production is warm and clean; it was all done in his solar-powered studio with custom guitars (tenor, baritone and standard acoustic) built by David Seaton. This disc will stay in my CD player a long time. Yours too. © Jamie Anderson Minor 7th Review
