Star Tribune TOP TEN Recording "art straight from the heart" January 1998 |
"as far as i can see" Review by Jim Meyer Star Tribune, Minneapolis, 1/97 "At a time when pop music has gone high-tech and highly electronic, this singer-songwriter is sailing strongly against the wind. Monroe went to the the North Shore of Lake Superior to record a solar-powered CD in a log cabin studio. But the real breakthrough is Monroe's music-making. Until recently, the 43 year old was an acoustic band leader in search of a style. On this third CD, he played all the instruments, usually just his guitar and a little percussion. The result is a set of calm but spirited works that accent Monroe's strong, simple voice and inspiring messages. In this setting the pleasant variety of song styles seems natural and coherent. Cat Stevens' 'Where Do The Children Play' fits neatly into this top-quality recording, which shows Monroe firmly in touch with his high artistic purpose."

"Monroe a rich-voiced eco-folkie, played all the instruments on this touching hymn to nature, recorded at his solar-powered studio. Art straight from the heart" |
