I had the great pleasure of seeing George Stanford at Jammin' Java last Wednesday. I have to say I was blown away by him.

The album is just as great.

My Own Worst Enemy and Big Drop start the CD off on the right foot. They give an idea of George's range. Downriver is probably the best written and performed song on the entire CD. The opening guitar rifts really set the tone for the song.

But personally my favorite song is Let's Stay Here. All I can say is wow. You'll be humming this all day. I know I do.

This is a great first CD by a really great artist. We'll be hearing a lot more from this guy in the years to come. So you should get this CD!!!

Really, I can't. At home, in the car, at work. I'm not sure exactly what to say about it without resorting to gushing. The title song is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard - the voice, the melody, the arrangement are all perfectly in sync. That song alone is worth downloading the whole CD - just to keep this guy in business. What the hell - I might download it twice.
If I could compare George Stanford to any other artists, the closest I could come are Jeff Buckley, especially the sound and introspective lyrics of "Downriver", and Andy Skib of To Have Heroes, for the general feel of the music (I think that's where I heard about this CD - bless you, Andy baby).
FYI - the samples of the songs offered on Amazon don't do them justice. These songs are much bigger than the 30 or so seconds sampled. Well, that sounds stupid - I don't mean bigger as in longer than 30 seconds, which of course they are, but progressively more complex as each song evolves. Just buy it and I promise to shut up.

I highly recommend this music. George excels with both vocals and instrumental accompaniment. The songwriting is very engaging.

never heard such a natural sweet voice like him, feel like i m in a beautiful garden full of lovely flowers, he is such a talented artist !

Fastest cd-to-ipod ever in my collection! George's performance on this album doesn't have the edginess of the old Townhall days, but the emotions are still raw and the composition is flawless. For those who haven't had the pleasure of seeing George perform live, he's awesome! Singer, songwriter, and able to play just about every instrument you can imagine.

This guy played at a small venue in Texas and his career is starting to take off. He is from phili and has a great voice and plays the piano. Imagine a new unique sound with a fantastic voice. GIVE HIM A TRY !!!!
