Boney James Send One

View:

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that's exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

This one grabs your attention right from the very first note with the title track, Shine and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song, Soft. Which is another great track by the way.

Shine is a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly talented artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are a reflection of real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Boney James possesses the characteristic of being able to bowl you over with his talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.

Listen to Shine and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Boney James's Sax work is absolutely in top form. Of particular note on this offering is his amazing offering of The Total Experience with George Duke. If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 ? The Total Experience, track 4 ? Let It Go and track 10 ? The Way She Walks.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1, Shine. Great track!

Boney James Send One

The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz artist Boney James has released his CD entitled Pure. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Boney James fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Pure Boney James's artistic excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

Listen and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Boney James's horn blowing is in top form. Of particular note on this offering is his amazing rendition of Stone Groove with the venerable Joe Sample.

Pure grabs your attention right from the start with the title track and holds it right through to the final note of the final track, You Don't Have To Go Home.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorite tracks are track 1 - Pure, track 7 - Break Of Dawn, and track 10 - You Don't Have To Go Home.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, Here She Comes. Great track!
