It's been a while since I've contributed. Great job with the digest, Erik!
Also thanks for your playlist and reviews. Your playlist allowed me to
catch up after being away from the list for several months last year.
Ok, back to the subject.
I really like this track. As a matter of fact, I really like the whole album.
Everyone (granted very small sample) that's heard my "Older" cd really likes
it and have subsequently purchased it. BTW, most of them didn't know he had
a new album out.
I don't understand why it didn't get the advertising/exposure needed in the US.
Maybe, this has something to do with the new (although seemingly powerful)
label he joined. Although, I did see a VH-1 special highlighting the album.
I've watched "Older" do well in the UK charts but nothing in the US. I'm
curious to know what happened. I guess it's possible that I've yet again
latched onto something that very, very few appreciate in the US. It has
happened before :)
