It is extremely hard for me to write a haiku for a poet. Even though its not complex and fancy, it took me a while to be confident about it. My words are basic compared to the pictures Dan paints with his. Dan has always been fascinating every time I have seen him. So much energy, soul, and love goes into performing his poems. I was super excited when he emailed me and even more excited when I heard the first track with intense music behind his poems. It’s so powerful. He takes Spoken Word to a new level. I will never forget, ever, the first time I saw him live beating a washing machine. I was stunned and thought it was so badass. This album has music with his poems and his poems bare naked, simply his passionate vocals. I think this is a fantastic album that everyone needs to listen too even if you are not a fan of spoken word. Listener makes you listen. I love the ukulele too! Learn more about Listener HERE!
