Here's to the future ...

Happy New Year to you all!

Drawn From Still Waters Top 10 Albums for 2004
Number 1
Evermore – Dreams

Probably the most played, most lent, and most missed of these CD’s. Evermore are three brothers from NZ (all under 20). The CD holds together beautifully; musically and lyrically. Dreaming Pt. 1 and Its Too Late, combine for a brilliant start to the CD while Everyone (Moving on) is a great end to the album. On the CD the musicianship is tight, the melding of the keyboards, and guitars is excellent. There are wisps of Radiohead, Coldplay and U2. There is much promise in the band, and it will be worth hearing the band develop their distinctive sound. Evermore are my find of the year. I’m hoping to see Evermore live in the New Year. On the basis of Dreams as a debut offering, Evermore’s Dreams is my album of the year.
