After seeing Softly, I had to have a good Daveed cd. five years ago, Daveed briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Sweet”. The Healing Garden is an amazing album, racked with beauty.One of Daveed’s best albums yet.
After you’ve listened to Sweet, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Purple make listening to Daveed like being in some sort of time warp. Flowers is simple, dignified and effective, Daveed refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Great Morning is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in The Healing Garden. It took me a little time but I ended up loving In Trance. Shine rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. With The Sun is the albums biggest surprise. No Daveed song has come close to capturing my attention as The Garden did.
