MICHAEL FRANTI MAKES SOME GREAT SONGS
I’m also a singer-songwriter, and I’ve bought two Michael Franti CDS, recently his Songs From the Front Porch, and also his neweast CD,
All Rebel Rockers, and both CDS are…

I heard one of these songs in an advert for a charity. I bought the album as a result. Wow! This guy is a great singer, songwriter.

good vibes
on the whole a chill album there are some top quality moments and peachy versions.well worth checking out
I don’t know what you expect from a dreaded guy showing his bare foot on the cover, but that picture is meant to fool you. This is the most honest& best album I have played over the air in 2004. The more times you listen to this cd all the way through, the more you’ll be convinced this man is put here just to help you see. Very rarely you’ll find such an artist at his peak, and virtually unknown. Very proud to say my listeners request Michael Franti regularly. Every flower has a right to be bloomin
Brilliant!

good music
We are not to familiar with the artist, but it’s nice easy-going music with a reggae flair.
For anyone who likes Franti AND appreciates music that is not highly produced, here is a beautiful, stripped-down acoustic cd. Even if you’re looking for an introduction to Franti, you can’t go wrong here. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Franti’s positive message and musicality really shine here. Nice, tasty acoustic guitar and percussion work here too. I’m telling you, check it out!

worthwhile
Michael Franti once again brings light to his “Songs from the front porch” album…..this cd definitely along with his others is worth buying even if there are duplicate songs…
This album, refered to as an “acoustic collection”, contains songs that can also be found on other Franti & Spearhead cds. However, I’d have to say this one is my favorite.
Free of fancy overdubs and superfluous instrumentation–it’s Franti’s extraordinary talent that carries this cd. From the rockin’ entrance of “Yes I Will”, to the sly “Ganja Babe”, every tune is fresh, unique and captivating. Michael Franti’s eclectic style crosses genres and generations, and is a welcome relief from the generic “mu$ic” so widely marketed these days.
This music is real.

Michael is my new guru - he should be everyones!
Michael Franti has it down - with his lyrics, sound and his laid back lifestyle! He is my new guru - listen and live through and by his lyrics!
Peace!

This is truly a beautiful collection of acoustic songs that have been taken from a number of different Michael Franti and Spearhead albums.
