Acoustic singer-songwriter Keith Rosenhagen shows promise for the coffeehouse circuit with his intense delivery of upbeat, sensitive songs. Opener "North Carolina" sets the tone for the project. It's a sensorial combination of guitars, background vocals, and fretless bass framing a story of friendship and loss. The factor that takes this project into the realm of the remarkable is its producer, David Beegle. A virtuoso of electric and flamenco guitar, Beegle and his band, Fourth Estate, are renowned for their progressive rock instrumentals. At the production board, his unfailing ear results in a series of settings that always display Rosenhagen's creations in their best light. Beegle adds vibes and warmth with his trademark guitar work and piano interludes, without ever overwhelming the singer on such selections as "Caring Like Water," and "Here With Me." This premiere project showcases Rosenhagen's potential; picking up a copy at one of his shows would be a great way to remember the evening.
