Gary Jules is one of LA's best local artists, and one of my favorite artists of all time. He manages to say a lot with very little, and I've not heard him sing a single song that I haven't liked. This is a great debut, with a good variety of sounds; some of my absolute favorite tunes on this album are "Owen Down", "Push", and "Heroes and Heroin". I also very strongly recommend Gary's most recent album, "Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets", which includes the tune most folks are probably familiar with, the cover of "Mad World" from Donnie Darko. ...

Gary Jules puts together a tremendous CD that combines his instrumental knowledge with his voice. The result is a flowing, relaxed sound that puts you at ease. If you've listened to "Mad World" from the Donnie Darko soundtrack you know what an amazing talent this man is. Do yourself a favor and pick this CD up.

This is a must-buy! If you've ever had a chance to see Gary Jules at the Hotel Cafe in LA, you know how incredible this guy is. 'St. Christopher's Lullaby' is an essential anthem for anyone in love. 'Ghosts' will leave you positively shaken!

I love Gary Jules' music. So calming and easy-listening. This is a great album, and I couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else.

Felt I would review this CD since it is one that I just cannot stop listening to after all these years. This CD has got to me in my top 5 of all time. I love every single song on here but the ones that I can't wait to hear each time I listen are St. Christopher's Lullaby, Bluefish, Ghosts and Heroes and Heroin. They are just so beautiful, kinda haunting. Gary Jules is such a fantastic songwriter. Every song is from the heart!!! And his voice - just incredible. He has one of the best voices in the biz!!!

This is a fantastic debut CD from artist Gary Jules. Gary lays out his life experiences through his songs. I love his style. An absolute must buy for your Gary Jules collection.

think mellow del amitri... purely musical and lyrical...the perfect romantic date as long as your idea of (or being) the the perfect date is showing up with flowers in one hand and a bottle of wild turkey in the other, barefoot...something interesting and contagiously listenable about this album. you must have it.
