Wow! There are so many great singer-songwriters around the it's hard to believe I'm calling your attention to another one but here they are--Zoubek & Bryant. Clearly falling into the folk category, they can hardly be called average. Like Caedmon's Call and Simon and Garfunkel, they excel in simple well-played acoustic guitars and wonderful thoughtful lyrics which paint wonderful pictures of relationships using images of their Eastern seacoast home. We've brought back Swing, and the big band sound, rockabilly, surf music. Isn't it time to give some of these great folk bands a larger platform and bring back folk as a major popular genre of music--start today by picking up this album.
