Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
With producer T-Bone Burnett, whose credits include Bob Dylan and Wallflowers, New York based singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur has made the musical equivalent of the most telling of trips to the psychiatrist's couch. However, the deepest words, most tranquil of acoustic ballads and savage guitar assaults are tempered by the catchiest pop melodies. It's a delicate balance, rarely pulled off as masterfully as on Come To Where I'm From. Lines like "In The Sun"'s "I know I would apologise if I could see your eyes, 'cos when you showed me myself, I became someone else" might allude to a subject without spelling it out in foot high letters, but the aching melodies, haunting vocals and acoustic strains leave no doubt that this is a man searching the darkest corners of his soul. By the sound of "Ashes Everywhere", "Invisible Hands" and "Creation Or A Stain", what he finds on those voyages isn't always easy to deal with, but it's still a touching and beautiful journey. Glorious is the only word that comes close to describing it. --Dan Gennoe

If you are into discovering new singers, then stop looking any further. This guy is not a star, he is THE STAR! Wonderful melodies, heartbreakingly-superb songs and a masterpiece of which the world has been waiting impatiently to be released.
Format:Audio CD
This album contains all of the haunting melodies and lyrics that make Joseph Arthur great, this album truly established him as one of the best songwriters of all time, up there with John Lennon and the fantastic songwriting unit that is Radiohead. Modern Indie music at its best, the only thing better than listening to this album is seeing the man work his magic live.

I bought this after using Shazam to tag 'In The Sun' from an episode of Scrubs, and the rest of the album lives up to the first track. A bit late to the party, I realise, given that it was released eight years ago, but if you're a fan of well-constructed, thoughtful songs that feel like you're sharing a little bit of the songwriter's life, then I'd recommend this.
