Try Whistling This by Neil Finn
Neil Finn Cd Try Whistling This
Neil Finns solo debut carries much the same style and tone of his work
with Crowded House--the intimate vocal delivery, the undeniably intelligent
pop approach. What Try Whistling This lacks is a couple of cuts to break
up the tastefulness that washes over everything; theres no noise like
Locked Out, no full-on heartbreak like Better Be Home Soon. Thats no
reason for fans of the singer/songwriter not to buy thi s, but its hard to see
how itll win many new listeners over to this occasional geniuss side. --

Personal Review: Try Whistling This by Neil Finn
This is one of my all time favorites. Frontman for Crowded House, Neil
Finn, is a New Zealand singer and songwriter. Although his breakthrough
international hit was "I Got You" for the Split Enz, he is better known for his
Crowded House hit, "Don't Dream It's Over." Finn took a break from
Crowded House in 1996 to embark on a solo career. His debut solo
release was Try Whistling This (1998). The opening chords of the second
track, "Souvenir," made me pause in my tracks in my tracks the first time I
heard them. (I was hiking across England at the time.) The voice was
unmistakeable, but the instrumentals were unfamiliar. (I felt like I had
wandered into a David Lynch movie.) Try Whistling This was a vast
departure from Crowded House, further revealing Finn's true artistic
genius. It was more experimental, moody, and atmospheric than his
Crowded House material (and hence the meaning behind title). I have
been hooked on this stunning album ever since first hearing the opening
chords of "Souvenir." Other tracks include:
1. Last One Standing
2. Souvenir
3. King Tide
4. Try Whistling This
5. She Will Have Her Way
6. Sinner
7. Twisty Bass
8. Loose Tongue
9. Truth
10. Astro
11. Dream Date
12. Faster Than Light
13. Addicted
