    Press Reviews
    Albuquerque Journal - Venue 12/08/2000 CD-WELCOME HOME--C. Daniel Boling is an Albuquerque singer-songwriter with a special gift. Boling's story-songs -- of remembering family, of coming of age, of loving life -- are honest without being sappy and his style comes straight out of the honored American folksinging tradition. Part of Boling's gift is felt in the warmth of his voice, the directness of his lyrics and the simplicity of the melodies. Take, for example, the opening selection, which is the title cut. Here is an excerpt. "I see we've all made our way back again where our spirits are made new. We gather here to share this time from all life's many walks... to share the music, to share our songs, to sit alone and talk. "Two songs that speak to the working man and woman are the thoughtful "Who I Am" and the kicky "Mid-Week Blues." Here's a line from the blues: "Some day I'd like to not show up and never even call. Stay at home and lie in bed and not get up at all." "Who I Am" advises that we should not let our jobs define us: "This is the job that feeds my family. But it's not who I am, just what I do." Boling has received some recognition; he was a finalist in the singer-songwriter category of the South Florida Folk Festival. Boling deserves recognition in his hometown so you can say "I knew him when...".--David Steinberg, Music Editor
