Review - Graeme Connors “One
of the Family”
“One of the
Family” is
an album of surprises - a name as big in AOR and country, even making an
appearance on a kids’ record or two, has now combined all of these sides and
more to create a very interesting, light-hearted... heck, even loveable
collection!
With all but two of these 15 songs his own, Graeme
Connors shifts effortlessly from the oz-folk of St
Marys Fair to the “Big Red Car”-esque All I Want For Christmas is the Rain,
from the AOR-cum-Christian flavour of One
Child is Born to the fun of Greedy
Guts.
As a reviewer, one often feels it necessary
to pick, pan and scan a record, searching for the highs and lows. But this one,
from the lead track through the fun, feeling and family togetherness created by
this 15-track gem, “One of the Family”
is deserving as an early Christmas gift to yourself and to anyone else you know
who was a kid just once in their lives! HHHHH
