> I enjoyed Lang Whitaker's review of Marc Cohn's, Burning The Daze in the last issue, and will probably pick that album up soon. Thanks (again), Consumable.
Whitaker called Cohn's disc "a great album from one of the lone remaining male American singer/songwriters." And went on to say, "Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson, and [Lyle] Lovett aside, there really aren't that many male artists around these days, doing what Cohn does best - singing with soul and confidence."
I fully agree it's a lamentably short list. But I think I can expand it by adding two: Freedy Johnston and James McMurtry. Each is a gifted storyteller with a keen eye for human foibles and a keen ear for melody. I'd recommend any of their rewarding albums.
