Hand Built By Robots by Newton Faulkner (CD, Apr-2008, Columbia USA)

Great album to chill-out to. I bought this as I like the acoustic sounds of Faulkner. He is a somewhat unique character who blends his lyrics with excellent guitar sounds and I think his cover of Massive's "Teardrop" is top drawer!!

My wife and Met him and saw his performance in Denver. Great guy and puts on a great live show. The show was completely acoustic and he is a great guitarists, as well as a true performer. His songs are novel and really make you think.

This product came in great condition. I made sure to buy it new and the seller was true to that, it came with the factory seal still in place. It is now one of my favorite CDs and I was really happy not to have to pay full price for it!

If you are looking for a good acoustic album with uplifting lyrics and a sweet voice, Newton can definitely deliver that for you. Personally I enjoy him as back ground music, I like a little more soul when I really want to listen to something, but he is very soothing and sweet.

I discovered this artist on You Tube on a video posted by someone in the UK. The first song I heard is a cover of the song Teardrop in which he shows off his "guitar tapping skills"! After I heard 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 has not made it big in the US but he may well be on his way. I saw that he was on Jay Leno not too long ago. What a unique and talented singer/song writer/ musician!! He write 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!
