He is indeed an extraordinary talent in all aspects of his music:<br /><br />His songwriting is that of a musical storyteller, who takes you on a journey to show you things he saw, or that he thinks and feels about and has something to tell you about. The lyrics Alan writes are miniatures with intricate details, and differ pleasantly from ordinary "pop songs".<br /><br />The path of this journey, that Alan's songs take you on, is being created by well-crafted and well played guitar work. This lays the foundation for melody lines and harmonies that are unique and of fascinating compositional maturity ... Maybe they will puzzle you a bit at first, but then, in no time, these melodies and harmonies will get you hooked, and will amaze you by their mixture of intricate construction and filigree details. What Alan's songs do to you, is so much better felt than described - so you better take a listen!<br /><br />Alan's singing finally is the core of his music. You will find a voice that is refreshingly different - full of energy, but subtle - exploring vocal range and layers of expression - coming across to the listener with clarity and force, embroidered with occasional details that have a folky note to them. You will have a hard time putting a label to Alan's vocal talent, or find matches with peer group singers. Alan defines his own style, and does so in a most impressive and amazing way. <br /><br />As I said: All of what I just noted down, is far easier felt than described. But if I was to sum it all up in one sentence (yes, I can do that too, if necessary, haha!), I want to put it this way:<br /><br />Alan Hall is a bard of the 21st century.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268749862512534300noreply@blogger.com
