I sent Rain Poems to my friend Al, who was my product manager at Epic Records from 1991 until 1999. This is his reply:

Here is my REVIEW on Rain Poems… by hopefully your Favorite Product Manager:
WOW! Did I hear that SOUND!!!
It was a BIG Beautiful Ultimate… Never Ending feeling that You & Jon were PLAYING IN MY LIVING-ROOM. Your recording is a…. GREAT Example of hearing the exceptional quality of musical instruments that feel like it came out of a VINTAGE Era like a fine Stradivarius.

As a music lover I will not complain about about an Artist like You… that NEVER just stay in one box doing a same music category for a whole life.

This release is truly a Step Above… with a Crisp Sound like a Neumann TLM103 has on my ears. If you want to know what tracks stood out to me… it was the whole CD!
