David Newberry's When We Learn the Things We Need to Learn is a solid, if not spectacular, album. Employing dark folk/rock/country sensibilities along with Newberry's powerful voice, the album is a personal pondering of life, love and all the other things that keep us awake at night. Given the musical and writing abilities of Newberry, the end result is a bit disappointing. Individually, many of the cuts are quite good. However, the album suffers from a homogeneity that makes most of the tracks, and the album itself, less than memorable. In the end, it all just sounds too similar.vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
