Ron Hynes -- Stealing Genius

[David Dalton]

I recently was given a copy of Ron Hynes' new CD
Stealing Genius and was impressed with it --- I
think it is his best work in a while.

On many of the songs on it he is inspired by a
writer (often a poet) and in some cases even uses
the words of the writer as some of the words of
the song and grants the writer cowriter (of the
song) status. But some of the songs are entirely his.

Anyway I highly recommend it and he is still my
favourite Newfoundland songwriter and I will have
to catch him live at The Rose and Thistle soon.

For more info on the CD have look at his website
http://www.hynesite.org or his record label's
website http://www.borealisrecords.com .
