Review of Rocco from the Bronx

Great voice. I'm totally drawn in by that, right from the start, but when music comes in, it felt a little out of place. I dig the tune, but not the placement. That guy's voice is music on its own.
Fun idea for there to have been vegetable farming in the city. This does a nice job of building the scene of receding agrarian land. I could see this playing as an historical piece that gives a look back at how land has been used.
I kind of lose the speaker during one of his tangents. While I'm completely drawn in from the start of the story, I lose the story as the point fades out.
Certainly, beautiful music used, and it's nice that the producer let it go long at the end of the piece.
