REVIEW OF 'FOREVER JUNE' BY KEITH SMITH (AUTHOR NEW YORK)

I just ordered James Maddock’s, ‘Forever June.’ Let me share with you why.

James isn’t a musician, he’s a magician. He captures life’s moments, experiences, joy, pain, sorrow, fun, hope, dreams, fear, all life takes from us, all it gives, with lyrics that evoke deep, powerful emotion, lyrics that make you think, make you smile, make you cry, make you scream, make you laugh, make you recall memories of love lost, make you revel in the love you feel now.

Lyrics that force us to recall who we were, what we’ve done, the kids we grew up with, the neighborhoods we grew up in, our success, our failure, who we’ve become, who we can become.

Lyrics that capture history, the grand, the abhorrent, the painful, poignant lessons of our collective past, and our world’s current state with a clear vision unblurred by an agenda.

He captures global ethical, social, political issues and life on your city block, the sight and sound of song birds in a backyard garden and the sight and sounds of car bomb carnage, the life of refugees fleeing oppression and war in search of safety and a better life, the life of those who acquired immense wealth and fame at the expense of others, and helped me understand there’s no ordinary people ‘round here.

Lyrics that stand on their own and when set to his music create songs that you can’t forget.

A poet, a philosopher, a visionary, a storyteller, a songwriter, a lyricist, a musician producing magic…and yes that makes James Maddock a magician.

Order your copy of ‘Forever June,’ at James’ Official On-line store.

Enjoy his music.
Experience his magic.
