Collaboration among Boston area musicians is what helps make the local scene so appealing. However, such cooperation is never volunteered without respect and admiration. That is what is so amazing about Carl Cacho's debut album. Not only does it feature appearances by rising stars such as McCawley Burke, Stephanie Corby, Kris Delmhorst, and Kevin So, but nationally known artists Ellis Paul and Catie Curtis pitch in as well. Fortunately, Cacho's compositions lend themselves to such participation. With little exception, Cacho presents comfortable, honest and well-crafted sing-alongs and solo pieces with humble grace and flair. From the personal questing of "Where Have All The Heroes Gone" and the quirky romance of "The Rabbi's Daughter" to the timeless "Save Me A Seat," Cacho sings of musical journeys and of the people who make them special.
