"Song of the Week" ~ Tick Tock
“Here we are /”
In my preparation to write this review I reread the review I wrote about Age Of Reason’s first release, Vox Humana (Sept. 09). I realized I was sitting down to write basically the same review, except with a little different slant. So you should read that review http://www.independisc.com/ageofreason.htm#124 before continuing.
“There we go /”
If you’ve chosen to saunter on without reading the first review, I will say that Edward Leonard and Dave Divino’s collaboration with percussionist John Santarsiero as a trio has paid dividends. Their 2nd release in less than a year, Acoustic and Live at Studio 23 is performed as one piece, this time fleshing out the saga of Edward Leonard’s belief in humanity over the years/ages, by redeveloping songs culled from current Age Of Reason’s first release, Deep City Elm, earlier Age Of Reason (?), and few newer compositions (?) to create an amazing tale. Edward once again sits us down around the campfire and wields the timeless message that has been told and handed down through the ages, using Dave & John’s percussion to push us along the heightened aspects of humanity and ask us to choose the right path.
“Catch a star /”
Shaman like Edward, Dave, and John have always been around to tell the tale of humanity and of the universal aspects involved in the individual choices we make. Every tribe of every culture of all time has had their historians who have passed the tale in their means of interpretation. We all have benefited from this, if we so chose, although the best is being able to hear and appreciate Age Of Reason’s musical interpretation.
“Let it go.”
