Now, I've known Aaron most of my life, and his music has had a great influence on my own, and I think this album came out very good. All the parts fit together nicely. I love the way he weaves the piano in with the guitar parts. His vocals are always clear, and it all sounds together. I've heard some of his previous "basment tapes" and, I'm afraid to say, I thought they were kind of empty, or missing something. I must say I was a bit skeptical, but it all worked out. The other musicians filled out the sound nicely. You're probably thinking "why did he only give it a three if he liked it so much?" The answer to that is: I don't think any of the songs will be big hits. They're up beat and all, but some of them are just a little too long; one runs about 7 minutes, and another is over 10! Do I recomend this album? Absoulutly. It is truely a nice cd to listen to when you want to relax, and even when you're driving down the road.

This album was a lot of fun to produce. It took a lot of hard work and I had to move from Hawaii to Pennsylvania to Florida just to get the right sound and people involved to pull it off. Everything came out much better then I had anticipated. The horn arangments are togather, the guitar leads are smoken', and the whole rythem section is on que and tight. The musicians featured on this album are outstanding, and I owe a huge THANK YOU to all of them. Great sound tecks also. John Blanche is a sound wizard! I consider myself very luckey to have worked with him. With over 20 years in the business he's mixed everyone from the Eagels to the Bee-Gee's! And a heck of a nice guy too! Not many people in this business stay as cool as John. Over all I'm very pleased with the product. It has it's "Oops" spots, like in On The Run that off key piano note that makes me cringe everytime, but I feel that the good far out weighs the bad. The power of the horns on Childen Of The Stars or Chris Taylors guitar work on The Signs...Fantastic! When that hits me, I know it was all worth it. Now I'm faced with trying to do better next time... That will be a challange.
