4.0 out of 5 stars Can't ever mistake that rich voice..., July 28, 2006

I've been a hardcore Tea Party fan since a casual friend introduced me to them back in '97. This is not The Tea Party, though. If you listen to this album expecting it to be, you're going to be disappointed. Yes, it is CLOSER to old Tea Party (Splendor & Edges) than newer, but it's still quite different. Jeff's vocals are still entrancing and he creates some of the most beautiful music on this planet. The darkness & negativity is pretty much completely gone from his lyrics. You can tell he's come to a place in his life where he no longer wishes to revel in some of the miseries of the past. He's playing this music because it's what he wants to do and he enjoys it (you can tell in his interviews). Who can criticize someone for doing something they want to do that brings them joy? It's not The Tea Party, but it still bears the creative mark of Jeff Martin... somewhat on a more mellow, relaxed note. Lots of acoustic guitars and still some variety of stringed instruments. I extremely love it!!.. it just falls into a different category than his previous band's music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeff Martin's Gone Solo And He Rocks!, August 30, 2006

This album is poetic and his refrains will stick in your memory for a long time to come. Fans of The Tea Party absolutely must check our this product of his solo endeavor, it is magical. Gone are the industrial-inspired songs and what comes in its' place is maybe best described as organic and brilliant. He proves his genius here and delights the ear and soul with this undertaking. A must hear!!

If you liked Tea Party, Jeff's new CD is just as good. Vocally, he sounds like the second coming of Jim Morrison. Musically, his band is the second coming of Led Zeppelin. I always thought that this type of hard rock with it's middle eastern sensibilities was where Zep was headed at the end of the 1970's and Page/Plant could have been headed in this direction if only they had gotten right at it after Bonham died back in the early 80's instead of waiting until they were too old to do it right.
I saw Jeff Martin and his band live at thier Buffalo show on 7-13-06 and they were great. Go see them if they come your way, there's nothing like their type of music being played by anyone else, or as well as they do today.
