2007 Favorite Albums

Music for me isn't just sound waves. As a musician and music lover, music truly is an experience. So, my favorite albums of 2007 aren't just works of great creativity, genius and musical talent. Each one speaks to me also because of it's innovation, message, fun factor or the story behind it's creation.

This list really gets to the essence of what music is about for me (and I'm really going to go fully "Almost Famous" with this)...

it's about the dream.

It's about the dream of playing some music that other people digg. It's about inspiring, educating, or just moving someone's finger or foot. It's about the smile that occurs on a person's face, in some town you've never been to, at the precise moment of the chord change you played or note you sang. It's about the small but perceptible difference the smile makes in that person's day, week, life. It's about communication on a level attainable only through music. It's about beauty... so sorely needed in our world.
