Herbie Hancock has released him most recent CD entitled River The Joni Letters.

Unfortunately, not every day that I have a CD from an artist, I can hear easily and comfortably in pop, from the beginning to get to the end. There is usually one or two songs that I just can not bring myself to pass. Not to Fall River The Joni Letters. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.

River The Joni Letters is a diverse mix well,of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs show a match like this to hear, the emotion that makes for really great. Imagine Seemingly drawing from what can only have his own personal experiences. At different points, the real emotions like love, touch and pain of relationships can certainly be heard.

Listening to this CD and I think you are not very dis-like about it. The songs are inspired,The production is simply outstanding, and Herbie Hancock is clearly in top form. So that if even a little 'rock music you like this CD.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorite songs 2 - Edith and Kinpin, length 6 - Tea Leaf Prophecy, and the track 10 - The Jungle Line

My Bonus Pick, and those who Sore [... as in 'Stuck On Repeat "] is track 1 - Court and Spark What a great title!
