Driving Music For the Mind.......2006-08-29

'Sensitive Songwriting' is Severin Browne's niche....
Every track on 'This Twisted Road' elicits a different set of emotions out of its' listener.....
Right away he warns you that nothing's as it seems.....
....& this time, he's showing off his talent with a strong, 'Thinking Mans'- Delivery' style...
You'll definitely notice the strong likeness to Kenny Loggins in his title cut....
You also get a taste of Severin from the past in 'Sweet,Stupid Dreams' a song he wrote in 1978...
All in All.... 'This Twisted Road' is a strong set of hooks delivered to you through a relaxed, reflective, mystical standpoint....
The hooks get in-and stay in.....
......An easy thing to do...for a Teacher of Music, and Songwriting.

Average customer rating: A solid sophomore effort

A solid sophomore effort.......2000-06-12

Severin's second album on the Motown label features a contingent of heavy studio musicians. Motown spared no expense in securing Russ Kunkel and Jeff Porcaro to play drums, David Hungate on bass, David Paich on piano and accordian, Richard Bennet on guitar and pedel steel, Alan Lindgren on electric piano, synthesizer and mellotron, Joe Porcaro and Bobby Torres on percussion, Steve Leeds on sax, Robert Grinnedge on steel drum and Dean Webb on mandolin. Background vocalists for the album include Jennifer Warren, Carol Carmichael, Bobbi Thomas, and Jules Shear. The album made Billboard magazine's Recommended LPs list. Billboard referred to the album as a "pleasant and soft LP from singer/songwriter who is divided between the John Denver laid back approach and a slightly more bouncy sound. The album contains a good variety of cuts and is much more impressive than last LP. Best Cuts: 'Love Notes From Denver,' 'Love Song,' and 'Cooking School'." In spite of all this, I think the album comes far short of Severin's debut album due to a much weaker group of songs. I'm guessing Motown rushed Severin way too much; his next album didn't come out for another 20 years!

A Great Addition to Your In-Car C.D. Collection.......2006-08-26

70's Juke Box, New Age, & New Era Folk......

....I didn't know what to expect, listening to 'Severin Browne' for the first time-
...to my surprise, he does have a sound 'All His Own'...
A couple of the songs off 'The Edge' album sound like Juke Box bar music, from the 70's era, which is a really HIGH standard to live up to... After all, it included musicians like Tom Waits, Gordon Lightfoot....The Eagles....
..& yeah, Severin, an ol' Motown Pro, can do it too.....
(Of course, having 'James Coberly Smith' in your line up, a long time musician in his own right, doesn't hurt either)-
Other songs on this album sound like Severin sat down to specifically pen 'em out for 'The Wave'....a radio station that could put him to good use..
And of course, right away you notice that his voice is higher than Jackson's-
It's fun, at first, to make the comparisons..but if you're a Real Music lover...you come around to notice Severins' talent...
It's different-
and it's definately worth your time....
I own 'From The Edge of the World' & 'This Twisted Road'....

A Forgotten Gem of an Album.......2000-06-12

Severin Browne's debut album on the Motown Label is a forgotten gem of the 70s singer-songwriter era. The album contains ten self-written songs dating from 1971 to 1973 and was reviewed quite favorably by critics around the world. Unfortunately, they also compared Severin, not surprisingly, to his more famous brother Jackson, which was unfair since their music isn't all that similar. Severin's way with lyrics and melodies has always been wonderful and although a touch dated, many of the songs on this album hold up quite well today. No real comparison to his outstanding 1995 CD From The Edge of the World, but a nice look back and some real hidden gems within.
