CD ReviewsA great CD Reader | 12/03/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Powerful, political, passionate - and if you've seen him perform live, Garnet Rogers' shows have a 'without-a-net' intensity. Get A Witness, recorded live, with a full band, captures that intensity and passion. The CD has a number of brilliant new songs,(the title song 'Get A Witness' and 'Good and Faithful Servant' are two of my favourites so far) and a few familiar tunes (ie the lovely Summer Lightning) with a new twist, and a powerful trilogy of Bruce Springsteen's Blood Brothers, Garnet's own Night Drive, and his brother Stan Rogers' Northwest Passage. No one else can sing Northwest Passage with more feeling and conviction than Garnet - he was there, every step of the way. On this new CD, he takes the listener with him. Get A Witness hasn't left my CD player since I bought it." Stunning, simply stunning... Beemerguy53 | Bel Air, Maryland | 02/08/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "While there is no such thing as a bad Garnet Rogers album (and yes, I have them all) this is his best effort in years. It is, in a word, stunning. The passion and righteous anger of the song "Junior", the feel for a soldier's life in "Beyond This Wall", the instrumental brilliance of "David's Solo", all reinforce my already strong opinion that Garnet Rogers is the premier singer-songwriter of our age. This is an amazingly good album, one that you will listen to over and over again." Profound S. MacDonald | Toronto, Ontario | 02/03/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm not one for writing reviews. In fact, I haven't ever before. However, I felt a strong need to sing the praises of this amazing CD.
There are cuts on this phenomenal CD that touch every facet of our lives. Funny, sad, lonely, touching, loving, tragic, deeply personal. And all are deeply etched from the realities in which we all find ourselves. The last four pieces on this CD meld into one amazing tribute to Garnet Rogers' late brother. This is probably the finest CD I have listened to in its genre, or practically any other for that matter. I, like the previous reviewer have not taken it out of my vehicle CD player. Well done, Garnet Rogers! Oh, and a P.S. The Boston Globe named it one of the top ten folk CDs of 2007. I beg to differ. I think it is THE top CD of 2007, period. " |
