Great Lake Swimmers: Bodies and Minds

By Dave Brecheisen

Bodies and Minds breathes with the emotion of Dekker's voice and pulses with the subtle beauty of his sparse acoustic arrangements. This album deserves a broad audience and Dekker deserves mention with Sam Beam as today's most lauded singer-songwriters. [13 October 2005]
