"If one is already a Rod McKuen fan, one does not need any introduction to the kind of productions he creates: music integrated with "poetry."



I won't pretend that Rod McKuen is a great poet. But he does capture a certain kind of sentiment in a moving sort of way--even if more polished wordsmiths might do it differently.



I guess I'd have to say that I frankly found this, my first-time exposure to an entire album of Rod McKuen's work, capable to stirring more than a superficial thought about a number of issues. "The Art of Catching Trains" was among the best on the album. The only way to really know whether you like Rod McKuen is to listen to several of the works a couple of times. I'd recommend trying it at least once."
