5.0 out of 5 stars The Desert Island Disc of All Time, October 18, 2002

This record has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. I've recommended this album to so many people in the past ten years, it's ridicuolus. No one I know who has listened to this CD has failed to be blown away and deeply moved. All hype aside, Jeffrey takes you to another place and this album is nothing short of breathtaking. This record still gives me goosebumps (not to be a freak, but tears sometimes too)and i've listened to it a million times.

Tracks like "Scares Me More" and "A Dark Love Song" can either break your heart or fill your heart, depending on your mood.

This guy is one of the most underrated songwriters of the past 20 years. While his subsequent records were a little spotty (although there are very high points on each), this CD just nails it.

You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, soulful, talented, February 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Jeffrey Gaines (Audio CD)

Jeffrey Gaines' first album is his best -- he retains his simple, "rough" sound. Without excessive instrumentation and production, this album is truly soulful and deep, yet not depressing. I only wish he would "hit it big"...he truly deserves recognition, but I'm afraid it won't come because he doesn't seem the type to sell out to get it...and there just aren't enough people out there looking for truly talented musicians such as him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jeffrey is a wonderful singer/songwriter, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Jeffrey Gaines (Audio CD)

I have been seeing Jeffrey Gaines perform for about 10 years now. I've got all three CD's. The first time I saw Jeff I was blown away by the lyrics of his song. He is one of the best writers I've come across. His songs are real and deep. I highly recommend all three CDs and a live show by this guy--hurry do it now before he makes it to the big time cause I think he's gonna do it with this record.
