"Circle Around" by Don Rothenberg is a folk CD with tracks that will remind you of singer-songwriters of the 60s. Don has been a favorite since the '60's with the counter culture of a whole generation. With the sense of the transcendental in the lyrics of "Doug Boyd" the listener gets a look at Don's beliefs. Don also gives a further view of his philosophy and his talent for giving voice to those beliefs. His voice is gentle and clear as he talks and sings his way through the expertly written tracks. The lyrics are clear and well articulated. Don's original folk stories and his strong spiritual connection to life and his music give variety with each track. "On Solid Ground" includes enjoyable harmonica fills that give way to very visual and relevant lyrics backed by Don's acoustic guitar, which forms the foundation of the tracks on the CD. There is an excellent percussive and wind instrument intro and interlude in "Klez" that nicely provides a bit more energy and flair to this track. "Circle Around" is full of beautiful three-part harmonies in its memorable chorus. Don't miss this one especially if you enjoy folk music and are in tune with the feelings of the 60s generation.
