From the heart - and it works
Maureen A. Parr | London United Kingdom | 10/01/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"'It's gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work', in the words of Susana Clark and Richard Leigh on one of the tracks on this wonderful CD. And this one certainly does come straight from the heart in more ways than one. It's a great live, idiosyncratic, intimate, fun performance. There are lots of local and personal references to the places around Hamilton and Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, where Steve Goldberger and the Local Fringe hang out. It doesn't matter if you don't know the area, though - heck, I live on a different continent altogether -the guys make you feel as though they're playing just for you, singing to you, smiling at you. Such heart. And no wonder - apparently Steve Goldberger came up with the idea for this CD while he was recovering from heart surgery and he donates $2 from each sale to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. If you like your music a mixture of rock, folk, blues and jazz, you'll love this. The tracks are mostly cover versions from the great singer-songwriters of our time - Dylan, Nanci Griffith, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, but I bet you haven't heard them covered like this before with Mr Goldberger's own two cents added to the mixture. Steve Miller's 'The Joker' may never sound quite the same again. And the one original composition, 'Weekends with the Local Fringe' really rocks! This is a highly enjoyable CD. I defy you to just listen; you have to sing along. It's just a great evening with the boys. I do have one complaint, though. The last track, Charlie Parker's 'Yardbird Suite' starts out great and then the tape fades out. Hope they'll have room to include it all on their next album."
