Richard Berman is one of the most gifted songwriters I have ever met. With a wry sense of humor, and topics most writers don't dare approach, he weaves through musical genres with a master's touch.

If you aren't thinking about anything in particular as you slip his music into your CD player, you certainly will be doing so afterwards. McCarthy, Kevin's Celtic and Folk Music CD Reviews.
Every song here is a gem.
These are haunted and haunting songs. You will be singing them after two listenings. Benarroch Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange , October, 1999. He employs excellent and appropriate musical touches with his songs and his lyrical insights have continued to flower with each release. It's interesting to a listener because, due to his presentation, even his most jolting tunes have an air of subtlety.
