Some reviews of "Doubting Thomas"

*** Smother (http://www.smother.net) ***
(US)
T. Hallenbeck builds on his previous release Secret Society sporting his incredible talent for writing tunes and lyrics that will have you literally begging for more. How do I know that? Because I am! For all of you struggling musicians that get frustrated when writing music, understand that this guy has been hoarding all the talent and muses.
↓ more ↓How else can you explain witty lyrics and masterful skills at singing, guitar, mandolin, cello, dulcimer, bass, mandola, keyboards, tenor recorder, and viola (whew!)? The production quality is a tremendous step up from the aforementioned previous work and in my mind I'm not sure if it's possible to assemble a better set of folk-based songs. So next time do you think he could just give off some of his magic to the rest of us normal folks?
*** The Here and There (http://thehereandthere.net) ***
(US)
T. Hallenbeck must listen to Cat Stevens a lot. This album is one that Cat would have been proud to have made. Hallenbeck's folk-rock is rich with music while a bit lean lyric wise. But this actually works as most folk singers are too full of themselves and cram every song with 20-30 verses. I like the upbeat tempo and sense of humor that is evident here. Hallenbeck has a real special nack of making everyday troubles seem not so hopeless like on "The Landlord Song" and "Inbetween Times". This album is for anyone who loves clever tunes and needs a bright ray of sunshine in their lives. Well recommended.
*** Zeitgeist (http://the-rocker.freeservers.com) ***
(UK)
A most welcome follow up to the much loved (round our way) Secret Society CD from a couple of years back. This takes our previously stated view that "Combining a striking spiritual lyricalism, an almost child like dream quality, and a marvellous way round guitar, cello, mandolin and mandola" and adds in a Jethro Tull / Angelo Branduardi twisted folk slant, that is constantly engrossing.
This is what music should be like. Asking questions, probing emotions, seeking truth. "Good music for bad times" - nuff said.
