Synopsis

Album Description
In his newest release, Soul Man in a Techno World, Red Grammer performs the same magic especially for the grownups in his audience. In some of the finest songwriting of his career he addresses many of the issues that pervade adult life with a wisdom and confidence of spirit that unfailingly reminds us why we are here. Weather it's holding on to our humanity in a world of megahertz and gigabytes, making sense of the tests and tragedies we face, rediscovering the power and excitemnet of risk-taking, experiencing the bittersweet feelings of children leaving the nest, or remembering the power of love and the presence of grace in our lives...this collection of eleven songs illuminates the joy, the struggle, and the purpose of the journey each one of us is on.

CD Reviews

Fine collection of philosophical songs for adults...
William E. Adams | Midland, Texas USA | 12/16/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Red aims this latest collection at the adults who buy his other products for their children. Most of these songs are spiritual in theme, but performed in a variety of tempos. The new, original songs capture a mature kind of religous viewpoint, complex, optimistic but not sappy, serious but not dirge-like. If you care about why you are here, where you might go next, and how to figure out the best way to live so you go to somewhere decent after this world, you will like this. If you liked his other adult album, "Free Falling", which was more about human love than divine affection, you should also enjoy "Soul Man in a Techno World." As usual, Red's vocals are fine, if you like tenors, and his arrangements and accompaniment are hard to fault. The guy knows how to make music...but on this CD, it is music to help you think, and feel part of the cosmos, and act rightly. This is a serious man, with deeply-held if somewhat unconventional beliefs, who normally makes his living creating fun stuff that helps little kids get over their fear of singing or any idea that music is dull or for sissies. This time out, he aims for the part of grownups that seeks connection with its creator. I like it a lot."
