5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle Grace, March 15, 2005

Jimmy Lafave has always had something special. A soft, romantic eye that anyone with a heart can recognize but most of us never fully articulate. Also, a whole lot of fun as a timeless rocker who won't be held back when it's time to let loose and play.
Everything Jimmy has done has had spirit, and an individual voice that should stand with anyone who has ever dared to reveal his true self for the sake of his art and the joy of the rest of us. What this record gives the world is that artistic spirit in full mature form. The subtlety of expression is astonishing for any one of us who has waited for Jimmy's next work. For any new listener interested in the art of simple, honest songwriting, I can't think of any stronger recommendation.

Once you've heard this album, you will not be able to get the stirring, almost hauntingly lyrical, voice of Jimmy Lafave out of your head. I once read an editor describing Jimmy as "the greatest voice you never heard." Don't keep missing out...Jimmy's ballads and incredble voice will delight your soul beyond imagining.

I came across Blue Nightfall by Jimmy LaFave while drilling through Amazon's new release list of CD's. Well a listen to the sample cuts of this CD and I was hooked. BLUE NIGHTFALL is my first introduction to the singing and songwriting of Jimmy LaFave and I am hooked. At times a bit reminiscent of Steve Forbert the CD none the less grabs the listener. I see he has 7 CD's out and is featured on one compilation CD. This is just a wonderful CD. Almost every cut hits home. The opening tune Revival harkens to that dark night of the soul we all come to from time to time. I also liked River Road, the title cut Blue Nightfall, Shining On Through, and I Wish For You. My only negative comment is that even though they are great tunes, the up tempo cuts, like Music From The Motor Court and Gotta Ramble seem out of place, and not of the mood of this CD. All and all though a great CD.
