A Review:

I discovered Gavin Creel after seeing his performance as Claude in Hair in 2009. His songs in that production quickly became my favorites and I eagerly purchased his previously released cd "GoodTimeNation".

While there are some beautiful songs on GoodTimeNation ("These Four Walls" and "For Nancy" come to mind), the songs on QUIET are overall more consistent. He makes no ventures into pop here, so there is more continuity and flow from one song to the next. The album title "Quiet" summarizes the overall singer-songwriter feel of the six songs, with extraordinary lyrics that touch on childhood, growing up, love, and broken hearts. I feel like there is deeper meaning in the songs that I have yet to uncover.

If you like any of the snippets, you won't be disappointed with the whole thing! If you are only going to download 1 song, it would be a tough call between Green To Grey, Love Fell Down, and Hot Ohio as my favorites.
