Don't Download This Sentimental Confessional Blahness.

Thomas Bartlett's Salon.com Audiofile Daily Download for today is Russel Crowe's Raewyn, available on iTunes. But wait, he warns:

"This record is fresh, revelatory and graceful." That's Russell Crowe, writing with customary modesty about his upcoming solo record, "My Hand, My Heart."...if you need some help appreciating its quiet power, you may find it useful to read the 1,000-word explanatory "Background to Raewyn" that Crowe has posted in the news section of his site. I say don't waste your dollar. The song is dull, sentimental, confessional singer-songwriter blahness.
