Audio CD Description

Though Amos Lee's music is frequently described as a fusion of folk and soul, such an equation fails to reflect the singular artistry of this impressive debut. Like labelmate Norah Jones (who guests on two cuts), the Philadelphia singer-songwriter recognizes the power of simplicity, distilling an emotional essence that cuts across categories. The opening of his "Seen It All Before" echoes Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"; the stunning "Arms of a Woman" channels Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember"; "Give It Up" cuts a classic Bill Withers groove; "Black River" has the sound of an age-old spiritual; and the closing "All My Friends" follows Van Morrison into the mystic. Throughout the song cycle, the bare-bones arrangements behind Lee's vocal flutter reinforce an organic unity that transcends genre. For all of the debts he owes to the music of the 1960s and '70s, the results sound timeless rather than retro. In his cautionary "Soul Suckers," Lee sings that "nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world"--and proceeds to prove it.


Comments From Our Customers

Compelling lyrics and melodies

A friend of mine first introduced Amos Lee to me. She asked if I had heard of him before and I said no. She played me some songs and I liked him right off. He has such a distinct musical style. The next day I went out and bought the cd. I dont write reviews often but while sitting here at work I realize how much I love this CD every time I play it. Amos Lee's debut album is filled with compelling lyrics and melodies that range from jazz to country to gospel, and rock. But for those who, like me, were exposed to all types of music while growing up, this is a very fresh new artist who deserves all the praise he can get. Refreshing is probably the best adjective to use in describing this album. I cannot say enough about this new artist. I've read the reviews and while I understand that people always feel the need to compare someone to another artist or put them in one category, Mr. Lee defies stereotypes and comparisons. He is just plain Great.


this is music

I could type meaningless adjectives about this CD but words can not express the MUSIC experienced on this disc. I........I.... Im literally speechless. you owe it to yourself to have this CD.
