The Private Music of Patrick O'Hearn

I was so happy to get another copy of this CD. This one for some reason isn't available streaming, and I had it years ago, but lost my original CD. It's great music from Patrick O'Hearn's earlier work. Love listening to it driving. The CD was in perfect condition, as was the jewel case.

Worth it for the unreleased track "Irene" alone.

This CD is a must for the Patrick O'Hearn fan who must have *everything* recorded by him since it contains 3 songs not released on any other CDs ("Down Hill Racer", "Irene", and "Step"). These new cuts will not offer any surprises for people who have any of his other releases (with the exception of "Mix-Up"). Having to buy a whole CD for only 3 new but average songs is a little annoying -- an effort, no doubt, to get established fans to come back to the well. On the other hand if you're new to O'Hearn, or feel that one CD of his style of music is enough, this is an excellent representative sampling of his work. There are 2 cuts included from "Ancient Dreams", one from "Eldorado", one from "Between Two Worlds", 3 from "Indigo", and finally 4 from "Rivers Gonna Rise". Actually the cut "Scared Heart" appears on 3 CDs if you count the original soundtrack for the movie "White Sands".If you like this music, beware of "Mix-Up" which are re-mixes of Patrick's work. It is my favorite O'Hearn CD, but it is not at all like the others, disappointing many of his fans.

added to the line-up

Patrick O'Hearn is a unique and brilliant composer and performer, creating deeply contemplative music that is a vast departure from the usual Pop music artists. I have several of his works, and enjoy them all.

I enjoy Patrick O'Hearn music, this was a replacement disc that I could not find in town.

The seller worried about the condition of the CD because someone had apparently played it after it was listed but it was fine.I like all of the tracks but can't play the whole thing in one sitting. Bits and pieces go a long way but this is good driving music and has a permanent home in my car's CD player.

I had been looking for this particular disc and had a hard time finding it and boy I am glad I kept looking for it , it was worth it. It's a good overview of his library of work . Keep up the good work . Highly recommend this title top to bottom.
