Bert Sommer : The Road to Travel - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Major labels were taking all kinds of chances on untested talent in the late '60s, but although his name may have been unfamiliar to most in the industry, Bert Sommer was hardly untested. |
 | | With help from a conglomeration of friends and studio professionals, Sommer proved he was facile in a variety of styles -- orchestral pop, acoustic folk, and some of the most sensitive singer/songwriter material heard before the style had fully flowered (with apologies to Tim Buckley). |
 | | All of this was delivered in Sommer's plaintive voice, although he was more convincing when he really let go than when he tried to rein it in. |
