I bought this CD based on all the positive reviews. I found it to be insipid, weak and flat. It only contains one cut worth playing more than once (I miss you madly). Very much background or elevator muzak. I was hoping to find something new and fresh. Like another comment stated, just a watered down Earl Klugh wannabee. Save your money for Earl.

I found this CD to be kind of mechanic, sterile, and lacking in "soul". Barris also seems to lack self-confidence and imagination. Kind of a weak, watered down imitation of Klugh. Okay for an amateur, but not professional caliber.

I feel this album is far above the rest! I own tons of cds. Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, R&B, Smooth Jazz. Lawrence Barris is my new musical hero.
Thank You.

BEAUTIFUL rythyms and melodies never go out of style and Lawrence Barris has captured it all! The essence of life can be found in this self-titled CD. His music and interpretations move me beyond words...you've just got to "feel" this one for yourself!!

My first introduction to Lawrence Barris came after hearing "Loveland" from this cd a few years back. I own both of Lawrence's cds and I think this one is far better than his Love on Me cd. All the songs feature that soft and soothing guitar accented by keyboards and percussion. My favorite is still "Loveland", but other good songs include "Our Midnight Dance", "Sometime, Somewhere" and "Afternoon Samba". This cd is definitely worth checking out.

I am a huge music fan, and I'm a huge Lawrence barris fan. Their are some artists in the "smooth jazz" genre, that sound watered down. Lawrence Barris is the real thing! You can tell he means it. Its a great cd with absolutely outstanding, beautiful, exciting, cool, sensual guitar playing. I ordered his latest release "Love On Me". Cant wait.

This artist is fantastic! I loved all the songs from the first, to the last song. I play bass professionally. This cat can play!
He has the tone of Earl Klugh and the heart of Wes Montgomery!
If you like it funky, soulful, pretty, masterful, this is it!
This is it! It's so great to find a new cat, that moves you.

Right On Lawrence Barris

I love this cd! I play it all the time.
