Rhian Benson - Live from the Goldcoast - March 2005

"Live from the Goldcoast", is one of those records like a norah jones or sade that people either hate or love, but i love it. i think you have to really chill and listen to it, but it is really deep lyrically and musically. i don't think it should be compared to an amel larrieux or goapele, those albums are much more 'trying to be hip and cool' (which they do well, i am like amel, she is great too), but i think this is way more of a classic album than anything those artists can do. its not for everyone, but in my experience really great artists are very loved or disliked, there is no in between and its the same with ms benson. highly recommended by me and i have seen great reviews in numerous publications that say exactly the same thing.
