Free Music Notes for Amos Lee
Free Music Review: One of the best albums I'll ever own
Hit: 5 Stars
I love Amos Lee. I hate to make comparisons, but I tend to tell people that if you like Norah Jones' style then you will like Amos Lee. Although he tends to take more chances with his vocal range than Jones (which I like), the soothing soulfulness is a commonality. His voice is soulful, passionate, soothing, and original. I enjoy hearing his voice throughout all his albums, but this one is truly my favorite because it captures the depth and vulnerability of his lyrics and sound. My favorite song on this album is "Colors," followed by "Seen It All Before." If you are looking for a tremendously talented voice, unique soulful/jazz/acoustic style, and thoughtful lyrics, this is the perfect album for you. Now, if I could only get Mr. Lee to personally sing me to sleep every night!!
Amos Lee Poster
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. --Don McLeeseFolk Music CDs
