Song Poem Hits of 2007 Review
These are the best song poems I've heard since their heyday in the '70s.
My favorites are the Beatlesque "Rich and Famous", the haunting "Ballad of the Boy in the Bubble", the corny country of "Painting the Town", and the achingly beautiful "Two Ships Passing in the Night".
Many other songs on here I enjoy as well, too numerous to mention.
Despite my high rating, there are some songs I don't like, for example "Julien Nitzberg Superstar" (which my friend likes, so there you go).

Almost as much variety on here as Sgt. Pepper.
The next best thing to Rodd Keith. Recommended!
Song Poem Hits of 2007 Overview
You have never heard anything like this, unless you are a collector of Song-Poems! Each of the first 21 songs began as a poem received by email, then set to music by the one-man-band of David Dubowski. It's all done from his home, with lots of real drums, guitar, bass, percussion, and an eight track multitrack digital recorder with only a smattering of drum machine. The sound is, well, hard to classify. Some are rockers, some are pop, one was made to sound like Hendrix and three were made to sound like the Fab Four. Tracks 1-21 started as poems from various songwriters. Then David Dubowski set them to music and the result is the classic song-poem sound. They differ from historic song-poems in that much care and time was taken to make them as good as possible, even though they were all recorded at home. Amyy Keith gives some nice female vocals on several of these little gems. And there are three non-songpoem bonus tracks at the end, one from the ancient pre-digital days of 1985. No matter what, song-poems are the most unusual genre of music history. Packed with 73 minutes of fun!
