The Big Hit--Andreas Duus Pape
Click here for an exclusive audio clip of Andreas performing "I know there's an answer" by the Beach Boys.
So, I was hoping that my first review would be of an Oakridge Boys album, but, since littleboxes sponsored the release of Andreas Duus Pape's The Big Hit, I've been asked to review that.
Until this release fans of Pape could only hear his music through his passionate live performances and possibly a few song snippets online. Andreas finishes his concerts drenched in sweat as though the emotions and music had to be wrung out of him. On this record Pape proves that he can transfer the passion of his live performances to the CD format. Standout tracks "Green Valleys of TN" and "4 Years Too Long" remain powerful and clever testaments of this songwriters intense feelings regarding politics, war, and love. The production here is spare but tracks such as "Poinsetta" are enhanced by editing and vocal effects.
This is Pape's first album and many of the songs sound similiar in tempo and rhythm. Some of this is surely the artist's intention as this album is really just his voice, his harmonica and his acoustic guitar. However, it would serve Pape well to make a significant effort to alter his sound on his next release. If the new songs he played live at his most recent show are any indication, Pape's sound will continue to expand, his lyrics will become less literal, and the passion inherent in all his songs will remain.

Hi littleboxes,
One of the categories in my article directory is Arts and Entertainment ... while searching for blogs on music, I discovered " The Big Hit--Andreas Duus Pape ".
We all know that the best content on the internet is created by bloggers ... unbiased first hand knowledge, experiences and opinions.
As someone who may be interested in music, I believe you will find our Arts and Entertainment section to be of interest. I am always looking for bloggers to contribute articles and help me to build the directory to everyone's benefit. As a contributor, you get the recognition of having your article published and seen by thousands of web users. The pride and satisfaction of seeing your article published in a prestige directory is hard to beat.
Not all of us are gifted with the ability to write to professional standards of grammatical correctness ... as a result, many bloggers don't bother to have their articles published.

I also appreciate articles that are uniquely based on your individual experiences, talents and ideas. All I request is that your content does not contain vulgar language, incite hatred or generally offensive.

Good morning ##NAME##, I find it quite refreshing to occasionally find a post such as yours with a different topic completely. It somehow ads to ones little list of lifes experiences.
I seem to have a soft spot for blogs related to free articles and /or sites that have a central theme around free articles type items. I guess this comes from being a webmaster as well.
Once again ##NAME##, thank you, hope you don't mind if I visit again next month.

Please visit Taylor Hollingsworth music site Taylor Hollingsworth who according to Allmusic.com is a vibrant mix of Sticky Fingers-era Rolling Stones and Pleased TO Meet Me Replacements which course through the standout rave-ups. When Hollingsworth gets his rock & roll elements right, he can create impressive, memorable music, and Tragic City holds enough excellent material to suggest that this Birmingham, AL, native has a very promising future. Listen to a clip from his latest cd Tragic City!
