Album Description
After a critically-acclaimed debut, Eliot Popkin took a few years off to write what will be his breakthrough album into the mainstream, entitled "Endless Ride." With a fine supporting cast including Grammy-nominated Producers (Juan Gabriel) and seasoned session and live players (James Taylor, Chaka Khan), Popkin delivers a fine 11-song collection of pop and acoustic rock gems. From the infectious title track, to the painfully beautiful "The Reason Why" to the acoustically simple "For A While", there isn't one misstep here. The arrangements never go fully over the top, allowing for Popkin's expressive voice to weave in and out of stories of relationships, family, childhood, spirit and life. This is a fine balance of an artist taking some chances and stretching themselves, while still giving mainstream radio something juicy and memorable. This is one artist to watch in 2005. Popkin should be ready for quite an exciting ride himself.

Customer Reviews

A folky attempt to enter the Pop arena.
First, I just want to say that this artist definitely sounds a lot better live than listening to his studio CDs. I bought his 1st CD and I thought that it was very Folky. At that time I thought this artist's goal was to make this kind of music. Then when his 2nd album was released, I bought it because I had heard the album was a Pop album. Well, I was sadly disappointed because this album doesn't sound that much different than his 1st album. I do credit this artist for writing his songs. I mean, there's 2 songs on this new project, #3 & #4 which after playing several times, are very good but, by far, they could not be called Pop songs.

This artist needs to experiment a little more into changing his singing style. An artist should always attempt to top the previous album, not make it sound exactly a like. I definitely think that there is some potential for this artist to go far. I think what happened here is what can happen to any artist that controls every part of the production of an album. Buy this album if you didn't buy his last one.

Pop Music with a Vision
Indeed, not your average slickster just making music for the sake of getting laid. How refreshing it is to hear the male sans the bravado? I mean, how often is it that we hear a compassionate guy on the radio? With songs that uplift, encourage, and enlighten, Endless Ride is a great pick for your next family gathering. This one definitely gets the Acoustic Fuel Stamp of Approval.
