true by Too Human 2001 Boenel Records. **** Every bit as good as Eric Clapton.


Okay, so I am guess that you have not heard of Too Human, the band.  That is, I never heard of them either before I heard them play a gig at the local library in Bourne.  Attendance for the gig was essentially free.  Admission to the gig was to bring a can of food for the local food pantry in Bourne, MA.  To my knowledge, Too Human got paid for their gig, which is important to me.  I don’t like to see musicians getting ripped off, especially the lesser known acts.  And, frankly Too Human will probably never get popular, despite the fact that they are really good.  They may get gigs here and there, but the music industry likes to promote young folk, and well the musicians in Too Human have grey hair!  I find that somewhat sad that the music industry is so seeking of young talent, because this is a very good album, and it has essentially gone through the musical cracks because so many people have not heard of Too Human.  Despite that, from start to finish, “true,” is an awesome album.  It is sophisticated, but the musicians are not showing off.  If you haven’t heard Too Human, and like acts like Eric Clapton, Chicago, or George Benson, then Too Human might be worth it for you to check out.
