Quote: "At the end of it all, one has a glimpse into both the artist's mind and heart."
By Catherine L. Tully
This CD by Tom Kozlowski is easy on the ears and an overall nice piece of work with a smooth feel and simple finish. There are 17 tracks on the album, and it is a very complete and well thought out effort. Things don't fall into a predictable rhythm but rather mix up in mood and presentation, keeping things moving along at an interesting pace. All songs (with the exception of "Eternity Hotel") are written by Kozlowski. A self-taught musician, Tom has been songwriting since the age of ten. More recently he has been studying formal composition and guitar with a composer in Ohio, his home state.
The guitar work on the CD is good, and Kozlowski's voice is very pleasant -- a combination of gentle and sincere. The lyrics hit universal themes such as spirituality and world events that are very relatable; his voice presents them clearly and with emotion. Don't miss "Ophelia," which is a particularly lovely sounding track with a very different vibe to it.
It seems that whatever Kozlowski has set out to do with Between Two Fires
has been nicely accomplished. Here is a well-done CD with good musicianship, expressing the songwriter's ideas and ideals in a way that the listener is invited in to think things through with him. A communication definitely takes place here as the album plays, and at the end of it all, one has a glimpse into both the artist's mind and heart.
