The disc begins strongly with “In The Sun,” where gentle strums of an acoustic guitar evolve into quasi-pop. “Ashes Everywhere” features a harmonica solo woven into the musical web of love lost and solitude.

Songs like “Creation Or A Stain” carry a much more aggressive message and feel than the aforementioned tracks; yet even during his angry tirades, Arthur glows with musical brilliance. His lyrics add an additional surge of power to this rage-filled track.

Arthur possesses the ability to create songs that powerfully convey his emotional experience. For this reason, tracks like “History” and “The Real You” are particularly painful to hear: it’s like watching a gifted student refuse to apply himself. In the end, however, the good far outweighs the bad, and the disc is an overall success. Come To Where I’m From represents a fine introduction for a man who will surely establish himself as an exceptional musician and poet in the years to come.
