"Thank goodness there are people out there like Colin McGrath who avoid the pitfalls of self importance and cliché that give singer songwriters a bad name. This is a well balanced collection that celebrates the extraordinary beauty of ordinary living. McGrath knows when it is time to help you stop and smell the roses and when to make you wake up and smell the coffee. The arrangements are simple and support the lyrics well throughout. His style is somewhat reminiscent of a younger Paul Simon (before he became a cultural pirate). His delivery is relaxed and gentle without ever being weak. The CD has great atmosphere that beckons the listener to come in and take a load off. Once you are into it you won’t be in any hurry to leave. There’s more at www.colinmcgrath.com."
