Dylan Cash "Prairie Surfer" CD Review
Just in time for winter comes the perfect summer album. On his second solo release , talented multi-instrumentalist and good ol' prairie boy Dylan Cash shows off two distinct personalities: the first part of the 14 track affair is bright , shiny acoustic folk-pop in the vein of fellow surfer Jack Johnson; softer, mellower numbers close out the 50-minute album.
Cash - who plays all the instruments - has a knack for simple , yet highly addictive , melodies whether he's just walking in the sun , meditating on the beauty of nature or tackling global issues. also included are two intesely personal songs about losing -and almost losing - a child , which are intended for public use.
3 1/2 stars. RW - Winnipeg Free Press
He's a singer/songwriter , and Prairie Surfer is his second independent solo album. Taken as a whole , these 14 mostly acoustic based songs are a snapshot of a guy whose muse can run to cheerful Jimmy Buffett-style singalongs, Jack Johnson-esque breezes, and country/blues/rootsy reflections on love.
When the whole World Forgets is an especially moving and rather unexpected example of the latter. The album closes with two heartfelt odes to the cherished love of family - songs inspired by personal loss and which Cash hopes will be latched onto by others in need of strength.
Rated: B JK - Uptown Magazine Winnipeg
