Citzen Cope - Every Waking Moment

 EVERY WAKING MOMENT is the third full-length release from Citizen Cope, a band led by singer-songwriter Clarence Greenwood. Every Waking Moment music CDs Greenwood mixes folk, soul, and rock, throwing in island and psychedelic elements for flavor, and giving a nod to urban music now and again (as on the enjambed, rapid-fire lines of "Brother Lee"). Every Waking Moment songs Greenwood's lyrics take on everything from the horrors of war ("Friendly Fire") to personal strife ("Back Together"), and he recalls Van Morrison at times in his roots-oriented songwriting and expressively textured voice. Mellow, soulful, and nicely put together, EVERY WAKING MOMENT is one of Citizen Cope's strongest and most consistent releases.
