Kim Doo Soo : Free Spirit (2002-2004)****° (reissue)Tr.1,"Wild Flower" 5 min,
Tr.11, "Abstraction" 8 min,
bonus track : Tr.14, "Dandelion" 6 min 18
A mostly very good acid-folk singer-songwriter album, with beautiful singing, more often with layers of acoustic guitar. Here he found even more his own style into simple and strong expressions. Some tracks are really unique. Also the bonus tracks are in his unique and delicate guitar and voice style with some sparse touches of other arrangements.
This item will be used in a later radioshow on Korean acid folk.
Mr.Kwang : "Kim Doo Soo is Korean Folk (Modern one) musician, who was only famous in deep underground scene. But in recent years, his 4th. album [Free Spirit] gained high expectation, and became more & more famous. His vocal & music style are very unique, not comparable to any other Folk Music. Highly recommendable for Modern Folk fans, and who wants to listen to real good Korean music."
Track list : 1. Wild Flower, 2. Boat to the Edge, 3. Butterfly, 4. Wild Rose, 5. Bohemian, 6. Rain at Dawn, 7. Blues of 19th. street, 8. Mountain, 9. As time goes by, 10. Romantic Horizon, 11. Abstraction, 12. Evening River, 13. Wandering, 14. Dandelion
