HallelujahMILESTONES theme is a wrap up of Kendall's 25 year span of time playing as a one-man band throughout his various cities and venues and echoes a nostalgic look at the past and the sense of melancholy that comes with wishing we really could "Do it all over again". The songs are well chosen and fit the concept like a glove and even though there is a decidedly eclectic mix of styles and genres, they are done with genuine passion for the music and it shines through. It's a special treat to hear 3 of the artists own original songs and two from his parents album that was a predecessor to this release 35 years ago. It's a great blend of songs and a generous amount of tracks. Standouts are "Hallelujah" which surprisingly made the song sound real and fresh without being ostentatious or over-sung which is difficult to do when it's been done to death. "Fields of Athenry" was quoted on the radio by DJ Blain Henshaw of Seaside FM in Nova Scotia (105.9) as being the best version he has ever heard of the song. "Give me the Strength" is a surprisingly different bluesy-rock sound that really could have hit potential in the right markets and similarly the easy listening ballads are very easy on the ears with ones like "My Star" having special note of being a classic and a wonderful tribute song to his mother as a fellow singer and of course, parent who was instrumental in his career. But not to leave out his father, he paid tribute to him by re-recording a song written by him and performed on their "Waters of Iona" Cd. Hal Bruce and Alex Meade did a superb job on the mixing and mastering and it sounds very professionally recorded so a big tip of the hat goes to their expertise in finalizing the finished product. Milestones will be a CD you will likely play in the car on a drive, up at a cottage or even home just having some wine by the fire. Enjoy!
