Citizen Cope

A selection of songs off Citizen Copes first real production project. Let the Drummer Kick is a slow but paced song with some very distinctive piano playing. A style that permeates his collection. The repetition ala hip-hop sound put me off at first. But as you listen it builds.

Salvation is yet another trademark style of slow, acoustic guitar centric simple playing. But again with hooks that get into your head like earworms.

This album is middle of the road for me. I like it, but the other later releases have much more powerful songs that I get into> I think you'll see the improvement in song writing.
