From the Heart: Coffee House Edition

3 stars

Soothe a stressed soul with this CD.

Don’t judge a book – or in this case, a CD – by its cover. From the Heart’s CD cover art definitely gives off the impression that you would hear it played in a Starbucks coffee house; and perhaps that is true. However, it was a pleasant surprise to hear Coldplay’s Viva la Vida and Matt Nathanson’s Come on Get Higher amidst the rather mellow music. There is no better way to pass the time working than listening to this stress relieving 21-track music compilation. This CD would be a great gift to anyone who gets easily stressed.

Jordan’s fave track: Shout Out Loud by Amos Lee
