Don't Mess with Mr. T/James Taylor Quartet Plays Motown James Taylor
Dome, 2007
Almost as Good as Julie McKee's Debut - Nigel Price Twice!
+ Funky and groovy. Energetic and energizing.
I'd probably take issue with the other reviewer at Amazon.co.uk in that Nigel Price's superb guitar-work on this album is evident from track one onwards. One of Nigel's strengths, however, and admittedly, is to show proper musical restraint - very much serving the song rather than vanity. Perhaps ...

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things Jason Mraz
Atlantic, 2008
His best work yet!
+ just what we wanted + Pleasantly Surprised
I absolutely love this album! It is by far his best work yet! I would definately suggest buying this album. It is definately a departure from his Wordplay album, but it is a good one.

Jim Jamie Lidell
Warp Records, 2008
Time Warped British Blue Eyed Soul
+ A little mo' Motown + Soulful Star
This CD is a whole lot more than "A Little Bit of Feel Good," which is not only getting a lot of radio-play, but also appeared on both "NCIS" and "Grey's Anatomy" in the past few weeks. Though Jamie Lidell's a British bloke, he's got a voice straight out of the 1960's South. He's been likened to ...

This Kind of Love Carly Simon
Hear Music, 2008
THIS Is The KIND OF LOVE We've Been Waiting For!!
+ I have a new favorite song... + kimba1959
I've got to admit....upon my first listen, I was less than thrilled with THIS KIND OF LOVE, Carly Simon's first album of all-new original material in eight years. Maybe it was all the advance hype, or my own (incredibly high) expectations. But then a funny thing happened...the album I heard on my ...
