I picked this up last week and haven't had the chance to give it a serious listen. I have had it playing for background music.
The majority of the tracks are instrumental with Brickman's piano doing the singing. There are few tracks that have vocals.
One thing that caught my attention, the title cut (Simple Things) is an accurate discription of his work on this release. All the arrangements are very "simple"! Nothing that with tax your listening. It sort of draws you in. IMO, this part of the art of music, has been lost with most of todays artist.
I think those of you that enjoy classical, will easily like what this disc has to offer. It seems to have that underline to it's sound with light touches of violin and flute.
