'THE POSITIVE SIDE'

FEATURED CD REVIEW
DAVID BAERWALD - 'Here Comes The New Folk Underground' (Lost Highway Records)
Release Date: July 16th, 2002.
It's been nine years since David Baerwald has really last been heard of on a major league record label. And with the release of 'Here Comes The New Folk Underground,' Baerwald proves he still hones the skills as a ingenious singer-songwriter; this being a man who is one half the David from the 80's band David + David that gave us the AOR radio hit "Welcome To The Boomtown." On 'Here Comes The New Folk Underground,' a variety of musical tastes engulf the project, including folk, rock, rhythm & blues and even jazz inlays. But it's Baerwald's clever lyrics, as usual, that captures the human spirit in an unusual view. In "Why," he describes of dark and tragic times which we all deal with at one time or another; "we've been living here like exiles / we've been out here way too long / watching goodness die / a thousand deaths / we just keep on moving on / don't ask me why / don't ask me why / cause I don't know." On "Compassion," the record's first single, Baerwald sings of a lesson not only that we all need to adhere to, but maybe in which he's experienced thru his personal tragedies; "I say live and let live / forget and forgive / that may be why I / am still standing." An artist such as David Baerwald is rare talent in keeping you grasping for more in a cache of brilliantly-penned writings. Where most folk-rock writers are too serious and broad-minded in being tuned in today's world, David Baerwald always shines new light in unusual directions, which will probably be the reason that 'Here Comes The New Folk Underground' falls just short of truly being labeled a complete musical masterpiece; each listening getting better and better - don't ask me why. I don't know.
