Free Music Notes for Amos Lee
Free Music Review: Trumped Dylan and Haggard
Hit: 5 Stars
I went to see a concert in Milwaukee. My reason for going was to see, firstly, Bob Dylan - arguably the greastest songwriter who ever lived. Secondly, Merle Haggard was on the undercard. This was an added little bonus to see two icons before they croak. But a funny thing happened, as I listened to the heavyweights late that night. I couldn't get the soulful voice of this other cat out of my ears. Amos Lee opened for these two legends on (correct me if I'm wrong) his first national tour. If that isn't an endoresment of one's talent, I don't know what is. He was amazing; I quickly (when payday finally rolled around) found and bought his album. I turned my girlfriend on to it, and a few friends as well. Great for laying around late at night, peeling the layers off the day. Lookin' forward to what else he can cook up...Free Music Review: A very pleasant surprise!

We decided to go ahead and pick up this CD after seeing his performance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." What a CD! It is so terrific! His vocals are so pure and raw and seem to flow effortlessly. It is also such a treat to know that there are musicians out there that still appreciate the power of dynamics. Track to track is nicely mixed, too. All of the songs have a distinct personality... they don't "all sound the same" (as that can sometimes happen to artists who find a style that they are comfortable in). Definitely one of the best CDs in our extensive collection - without a doubt. We have actually purchased several copies of this CD and given them out as gifts to friends & family. Luckily, and as expected, they all feel the same way. We look forward to hearing more from Amos and his bandmates!Free Music Review: stands the test of time

I don't write reviews; my opinion is my own and it only matters to those who love me. Still..."Amos Lee" stands the test of time. How long ago did I buy this CD? I played it to death when I got it. Had to go see Amos when he came to town. Talked my sister into going with me. "You'll like him, he's low key, kind of jazzy-bluesy-folk music." Recently popped the CD back into the CD player. It's still soooo good for relaxing, slowing down, chillin'. My daughter surprised me when the music started. She said, "Is this Amos Lee?!! I love this CD." And she's a 13 year old (self-described)orchestra nerd who loves modern hard rock: emo.
If you haven't gotten this one yet, but you've been thinking about it, stop waiting. It's intellingent, sophisticated, difficult to classify, and won't get old.
Free Music Review: Rare, True Talent
Hit: 5 Stars
Listening to the radio these days means three things: commercials, annoying announcers, and lots of crappy music. Some say it's impossible for radio stations to make everyone happy, but I'd be surprised if they're making anybody happy. Amos Lee isn't the kind of artist you hear on Top 40 radio, at least where I'm from. And that's a shame.
Amos Lee has talent. The producers and musicians associated with this project have talent as well. There's no sense of commercialization in this project. In fact, it feels very raw. Low key, earthy, calming, and very good. You'd be hard pressed to find another music experience like it. This is a CD that you will listen to again and again and again, the kind of music that the medium was made for. And here's hoping this is the shape of things to come.
Free Music Review: Ahh...good ol' Amos. Works all the time!
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember first hearing Arms of a woman on KCRW for the first time....I still get those 'good music chills' over my body! I quickly called Amoeba records for this one.
I dont write reviews often anymore...but while sitting here at work I realize how much I enjoy this CD every time I play it...
It's one of the very few that both my husband and I can enjoy together...or at work..in the car...falling asleep...getting focus on a project...making majic with the one you love..
Amos Lee is like having rainy days off work, spending it in the bed...like traffic on the freeway not really being an issue....just smooth and relaxing. I think my favorite is Keep it Loose..but I call it "Over the rainbow"...
I can't compare artists...I'll just say this is one to buy!
