Denison Witmer is probably one of the best singer/songwriters in the scene right now. It's just him and his guitar (for the most part) and he has this charm that just seems to draw you in. "Safe Away" was recorded a few years back and was originally released by Denison. Burnt Toast loved the CD so much they decided to re-release the album this year, and add 3 songs to it. So the music on this album I have become extremely familiar with, listening to the CD over and over again the past few years, and I still love it. Much like David Bazan (Pedro the Lion) Denison's songs seem to tell a story, yet his seem to be a little more fact than fiction. If you're into mellow acoustic music with passion and emotion then you're going to have to check out this release. Not only does Denison have a great voice, he has a very distinct voice that you will have a hard time getting out of your head.

Decapolis 2000Reviewed by Jim ShadyDepending upon your musical tastes, you may really dig this CD. I have heard Dennison before as well as seen him live. After all, I spent 4 years of my collegiate career in Lancaster, PA (you would have know that had you read my bio). Never the less, this disk really surprised me. He never impressed me in the past, but that is perhaps because I never was into mellow music until this past year.…Opus 2000Reviewed by Jason MoreheadThere's something to be said for music that's completely lacking in pretense. I've always admired those who are completely willing to forgo any sense of ego and wear their hearts on their sleeve for everyone else to see. Of course, if done poorly, it's more embarrassing than anything else. However, done right, it somehow resonates with you in a way that's hard to explain.
