Pieces Of Me

Wonderful Album

     

Lucibelli has an authentic voice. This album highlights this singer-songwriters talents most impressively. He has a great grasp of the entire range of human emotion and experience.
"Pieces of Me" is a magesterial work that encompasses the range of human experience from the frustrations and joys of lvoe, the wonders of parenthood, the reality of death and loss, and the ephemeral fragility of people and places that are dear to us.

Lucibelli's songs for his son and his daugher are wonderful; his song with his own father highlights his father's gorgeous and plangent violin playing. It is very moving.

Three songs that particular haunt me (in a good way) are "State Line," "Leaving Soon," and "Old Stories by the Seaside." The emotional range and depth of these songs are astonishing. They deal with the universal emotions that all of us will reflect upon in our lives. The profundity does not make them unaccessible at all.

I would put Lucibelli in the same category of sining as Springsteen, Tom Waits, Brian Eno, and Jim Morrison, and all fans of those voices should listen to this ablum. Lucibelli is a remarkably gifted singer-songwriter and I would not hesitate to recommend his work to anyone.
