The title of Robby Ballhause's seventh album delivers what it promises: "Well Wasted Time" is full of musically narrated stories that tear the listener away from the drudgery of everyday life and transport them into a relaxed atmosphere where they forget time and space. This time, the singer/songwriter deliberately dispensed with large arrangements and sings the songs alone with guitar, just as he does live at his solo concerts.
This album thrives on the singer/songwriter's diverse, charismatic voice and lively, virtuoso guitar playing. Even the reworkings of previously released tracks from older CDs take on a new, more intense, and more honest form. A story is told, the song is played, nothing is sugarcoated or hidden.
Leaving the dynamics almost natural, this CD gives the listener a stress-free and truly “well-wasted” experience.
