Many people know Shel Silverstein as the brilliant mind behind the poetry and art of books like A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and Falling Up. A much smaller number of people know about Silverstein's equally impressive composing skills, but the tribute album Twistable Turnable Man will surely change that. Since Silverstein is known less as a songwriter than as an artist and poet, the entire experience of listening to Twistable Turnable Man is colored by the listener's perception. But no matter where Silverstein fits into your life, there's plenty to love on this album, and it is guaranteed to stoke your appreciation for him.
