RANDALL GOODGAME
Bluebird EP
(Independent)
****
Randall Goodgame can sing. No, really. You are assumedly most familiar with Goodgame’s material on various Caedmon’s Call offerings, considering he’s written 15 of their songs. Then again, it might be the popular children’s project, Slugs & Bugs & Lullabies. Or perhaps you know War & Peace, which features his keen songwriting skills and tender tenor.
Bluebird, then, is a proper introduction for new Goodgame listeners, as well as a fond return to form for the Square Peg Alliance member. Themes of leaving and coming home and the geography related to both journeys are heavy on this acoustic release, and the six songs here stand as some of Goodgame’s best work to date.
