According
to a sticker on the case, Harris gained a 2003 Grammy Award Song
of the Year Winner for the recording of ‘Don’t Know Why’ – not
included here. The New Yorker claims that he is ‘ the no.1
songwriter in the country.’
This
reviewer cannot find much enthusiasm for music that he considers
is no different from the average. Reading the lyrics doesn’t improve
things either, for instance in ‘If You Won’t, half
of the lines are made up of the words ‘I won’t if you won’t.’
Other lyrics have a similar composition.
Although
I have spent many years listening to the ‘Great American Songbook’
I always approach new material with a very open mind but in the
case of ‘The Secret Sun’ nothing really draws my attention.
I feel that none of these titles will stand the test of time.
I may well be wrong!
