Not the man himself you understand, but a cluster of session singers and musicians weaving his songs into a youth musical. The scriptwriter aims to tackle some of life's inecapable problems, using dialogue throughout to get the brain cells working as well as to entertain. Enterprising project for sure. On the minus side, it's soaked in glossy slickness, and defiantely can't stand alone as a piece of work apart from seeing the live presentation, which would probably be worth a visit. So much of the "Oh, I'm so excited" brand of American jargon simply doesn't travel. If you enjoy the super-smooth side of it all, go for it! Hopefully most Cross Rythms readers look for more gut-level rawness in their musical diet.
