The Sound Of Sunshine, the inspired and inspiring new album by Michael Franti & Spearhead -- is a kind of musical sun shower, a bright, beautiful and often buoyant song cycle created to bring all kinds of listeners a sense of hope during rough and rainy times for so many in our world.The Sound Of Sunshine actually came out of a darker and tougher personal experience for Franti as he endured hospitalization and was close to death following a ruptured appendix. Many of the songs penned on this album came from that experience. Well aware that countless others face far worse problems than he did, Franti intends The Sound Of Sunshine to communicate a sense of hope and possibility for anybody who needs it.
