Editorial Review:Sidelined by a divorce and single fatherhood, Marc Cohn returns to active duty rejuvenated, if recognizably scarred, since the marginal disappointment of his sophomore outing. Burning the Daze strikes closer to the high mark set by his '91 debut, his sultry vocals and well-crafted songs attesting to the set's careful gestation. Guitarist John Leventhal, a not-quite-secret weapon on the prior albums, is officially aboard as coproducer, an apt choice given his contributions to other recent singer-songwriters' studio work, bringing his versatility and musicianship to bear on a solid new clutch of Cohn originals. "Already Home" opens the set with a sleek midtempo groove, Memphis-cured horn riffs, and allusions to Homer and the Wizard of Oz, "Saints Preserve Us" successfully cops from the Band, and "Lost You In The Canyon" transforms a cell phone into an effective metaphor for more primal communication problems. --Sam Surtherland

Rating:  - Strange Deja Haunting Wandering Vibe - Who's This Now?
I'm a Marc Cohn fan, and this album doesn't disappoint me. In fact, you've got many of my favorite artists that seem to haunt this album, much like The Rainy Season album. Between these two albums we've got Tom Petty, Bruce Springstein, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Page-Plant, The Band, Joe Cocker, and several more...including the orginal flavor Marc Cohn. It's an odd experience listening to the album; not a detractor, maybe more of a distractor. Be prepared to play the - Guess who influenced this song? ... Read More
Rating:  - Good enough to stand apart, but doesn't
I'm a big Marc Cohn fan, and guilty of singing "Walking In Memphis" as loud as my wife will allow when I hear it on the radio. That said, I enjoy Burning The Daze almost as much as his debut album (I'm not familiar with Rainy Season, and can make no comparison here). His voice maintains that soulful, gravely tone, and the sound of the album is similar, even fuller at times. It's a very personal recording, by all accounts, and only a Harry Nilsson cover keeps it from being autobiographical. But ... Read More
Rating:  - Was recommended
This was recommended based on recent purchases. I didn't care for it.
Rating: - Marc Cohn - Still a great bet
Marc Cohn battles the same demons most singer/songwriters encounter: How to follow up the great first album (Even two albums down the road). He wins - mostly. If you are a fan you know exactly what that means. 'Walking in Memphis' still echoes in all of his work as the benchmark to strive for. But this truly isn't where he should be judged. So many of the cuts on that first, self-titled album are genuinely better songs. True Companion. Saving the best for last. These are Marc Cohn. And these ... Read More
Rating: - IN MANY WAYS, A DIFFERENT SOUNDING ALBUM THAN THE FIRST ONE
Compared to his first album ('Marc Cohn'), many of the tracks have a much 'beefier' and, I think, a much richer sound with various instruments (incl. acoustic/electric guitars, horns, percussion) having more prominence (arguably, two or three tracks are slightly over-produced). This sound is, no doubt, due to the greater influence of John Leventhal who co-produced (with MC) the majority of the tracks. Only 3 tracks feature MC playing the piano and, as a consequence, much of the 'atmospheric' quality of ... Read More
