Why Amos Lee has not gotten the attention he deserves is beyond me...he can sing and write... one of the greatest young talents of America...give his CD a listen and you will be hooked... His voice is like a smokey afternoon , just as the sun is going down....

I first heard and saw Amos on Austin City Limits. I was hooked after his second word! His voice is addicting and empowering. His words and his sultry voice speak to your soul. When he sings it feels like he is singing directly to you. Can't wait for his next album. Best CD I have in my collection.

In this age of "formula, studio-mixed" music Amos Lee delivers real music to listeners--plain, simple, direct tunes--that are reminders of bygone days when singers were distinguished by their individual voices and by the types of songs they sang. I'm looking to hear more from Lee. Here's one new-found fan who hopes and prays that the "soul suckers" of the music industry don't catch Amos Lee, and that he continues to "keep it loose, keep it tight" on future releases.

This is absolutely wonderful! He incorporates different styles of songs which is great. His voice and lyrics are mellow and strong at the same time. I didn't take it out of my cd player for probably a month when I first got it- each time I listen I find something new, enlightening, or if anything, somehow centering about his music.

I am so excited I finally found this album! I heard Amos Lee open for Norah Jones and, as others expressed, was blown away by his talent. Just him, his guitar, and his charm on the stage. I had goosebumps when he sang. He's more than simple talent. He's soulful, honest and insightful. I haven't even litstened to the album yet, I'm ordering it today (they were sold out at the concert, and I finally hunted down his name!). I'm sure he'll become one of my favorites!

After seeing him open for Norah Jones back in September I couldn't wait to hear his first full-length album. This guy is the real deal if you like jazz and just solid song writing. This is a first-class album.

I have always considered myself a passionate critic and lover of music. I rarely ever find an album that has made me as emotional as Amos Lee's full lenght album. This album stripped of all the glitz and glamour of the usual industry technology is simply put, pure music. Amos Lee's raw talent, enables him to use his mezmorizing voice as the most prominant "instrument" on each track. I have an inordinante amount of CDs in my personal music library and after being gripped by the first few tracks on this album its easily the best CD I have ever bought.

I first heard of Amos Lee when I attended Norah Jones's Kansas City concert last autumn with my mother, and Amos Lee was her opening act. He completely shocked me with his stage presence and easygoing persona, as well as with his guitar skills. He performed "Arms of a Woman", "Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight", "Bottom of the Barrel", and "Black River", and left me impressed and wondering what else he'd written. After the concert, my mother and I saw a crowd as we were leaving, and realized that they were selling his CD, and he was signing them. I bought a CD and got to meet (and fervently compliment) him - and he was very eloquent and polite, if a little shy. Anyway, the CD I bought had only 7 songs on it, and, although good, was far too short. When I found out this new one was coming out, I ran out and bought it immediately, and I'm overjoyed I did, because it's now one of my favorite CDs. I hope Amos's career is succesful, as he is definetly one of the best new, but unsung artists we've got.

Barnes & Noble - William Pearl
“My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75,” Amos Lee has said, a remark that points out his discerning taste rather than any retro instincts. For if this acclaimed singer-songwriter can bring to mind the folk- and blues-inspired artists of the early ‘70s, he’s also carved out his own identity, one that reflects his own time. What makes Lee special is his amalgam of influences. His original songs pull together pungent strains of folk, rock, blues, and R&B to form a vibrant, soulful sound that has little to do with contemporary “mope folk.” A former schoolteacher, Lee projects a literate sensibility that mingles engagingly with his down-to-earth delivery; such ...
