Search - Colin Spring :: Meet the Sea...Or Be Washed Up

Most Underrated & Overlooked Songwriter in the US

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The night I got this album, I put it on around 2 am when I got home from the bar.



The lyrics and songwriting on this album kept me up all night and I couldn't take this album out of the cd player for weeks. I have been all across the states listening to music and I don't know ANYONE that is writing songs like this.



Yes, the production could have been a little better, but overall these are some of the best and most honest songs I have heard in years. If there was justice in the world and FM radio was not in its current miserable state of pay-to-play, songs like "Be Eyeless in Part", "Disappearing Act" and "Let me Die in the Summertime" (one of the greatest songs ever written) would be filling the American airwaves and blowing minds the way that Dylan did decades ago.



Pete Yorn is a bore and John Mayer is a pimple on the ass when matched to the talent and authenticity of Colin Spring. Long may you run Colin, long may you run...
