I AM HOOKED ON THIS ARTIST
The first song of his that I heard was a cover of the song Teardrop in which he shows off his "guitar tapping skills"! After I listened to his other songs, I instantly fell in love with his music. I had not heard the song Straight To The Sun before I bought the CD, but it may be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. He apparently has started to get increasingly more exposure in the US. I saw that he was on Jay Leno not too long ago. What a unique and talented singer/song writer/ musician!! He writes such meaningful and passionate lyrics. I can "chill out" or listen to this while I am at my desk, and my state of mind is instantly improved. If you like acoustic guitar and songs with a message, you need to give this one a try!

Brilliant!!!
Amazing Album, First saw this guy opening up for John Mayer at THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL last year, was looking forward to hearing more. Not many CD's have that 'play all the way through from start to finish, never skip a song' thing going for them. In my collection of a few hundred barely a handful fit this bill. This however goes right in there amongst them. Superb, thats all I can say, every song is a winner and the tunes are catchy but still different from a lot of things out there.

Great album and Recommend it to anyway who enjoys the superb playing of acoustic guitar and great catchy songs!!

hey! talent that isn't packaged!
I first heard about Newton Faulkner by...no! not the latest single on the radio. I was at a record shop, and asked about music similar in style to Keller Williams, who I just saw last night, helluva show too. This guy was recomended, put on the stereo, and I bought it. Why did I buy it? I rarely buy CDs, but this guy has a good sense of melody, a good voice and range, although some of the songs do sound similar.

Hmmm, the next big thing? Well, hard to tell, but he can sing, no pitch correction or studio trickery it seems, just a guy singing with a guitar and spare backing band. Reminds me of early David Gray, and Justin Currey from Del Amitri most of all. Mellow, but not as boring as Jack Johnson who sounds like he's singing the same song every time.

Faulkner will be a good one to catch live, lots of good talent and enough diffrence in melodic structure to keep the album moving along, good for a saturday afternoon with the wind blowing. Be careful of people who throw around, "the next big thing," scary phrase there.

Layter,

Too good to miss
This is one of the best collections of new tunes to appear over the last year. Passion in music is hard to find, but not on this disc. GREAT writting coupled with a strong steady voice, MAKE THIS A MUST OWN COLLECTION. Production is work is perfect and the more you play it, the more you'll love it. This is right in the middle of the singer song-writter group and will soon rise to the top. Get on it now, you'll be glad you did.

Excellent debut album
I found this album via iTunes, but I decided to actually buy the CD here on Amazon, and I have to say that I'm glad I did. His songs are unique and catchy, and I love Faulkner's guitar style. His rendition of "Teardrop" is especially interesting, and "I Need Something" and "Dream Catch Me" are quick becoming two of my favorite songs. There are very few studio albums that I get where I like all of the songs, but this is a notable exception.
