We would love any positive reviews posted to the site... thanks so much. From a CD Baby Review: "The haunting lyric quality of this CD grabs and holds you. From the first chords of THINGS I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN, you know you have found a gem in this CD. The haunting lyric quality of the selections sung with the artist's strong, yet gentle baritone gives a consistency throughout leaving you wanting more. From original Irish tunes to personal vignettes, this is a winner." ---Diana Lindsay, author and publisher Reviews E-reviews of concerts and albums: "I think your song Hippies is a masterwork, an epic." "He did a song called Shipwrecked last night... and it 'wrecked me..,' He introduced it by saying that it was inspired by some of Dylan's best story songs. Well I'm here to tell you it was right up there with them." --- Joe Rathburn, Folkey Monkey at Milano's "I was extremely taken with 'Shipwrecked.' What a great song. The imagery is so classic... The mark of a memorable song to me is the desire to learn it and sing it. This one is in that league." --- Paul Espinoza of Golden Bough “Your voice and style are fabulous. Not many voices can capture Leonard Cohen-like sweet and deep vibrations, but yours does in its own unique and delightful way. I find it hypnotizing in a way, takes me somewhere else. And, your lyrics are fun to think about too.” --JS in San Diego INCLUDE THESE CD RECORDINGS IN YOUR LIBRARY Please go to http://cdbaby.com/cd/hintonjim to order The Wild Rover featuring I'm a Rover, My Father Loves Nikita Kruschev, I Remember Erin and others.
