New CD Review: Proverbs

Proverbs by Todd Herzog

With a mainstream pop sound, Todd Herzog attempts in his second CD to bridge the gap between organized religion and the undefined spiritual sense that so many have. Although many of the lyrics are taken from Jewish sources, there is not a whole lot in its songs that is distinctively Jewish and could compare in a broad sense to any religion’s inspirational music. Nevertheless, Herzog’s goal in producing this CD is well met, and from a sneak peek at material which may be on his next album—which is much more distinctively Jewish—it is evident that his career will take him in many directions. Very enjoyable to listen to and recommended for all types of libraries.
