Once in a great while a unique voice singing unique songs with a specal sound comes along, and this it it! The songs and sound of Gregory Page are so addicting that the music continues long after the cd has finished. I have not heard an album, or voice for that matter, that has captured my interest like this in a long time. There is no doubt Gregory Page is 'In Love With Love' - and it works! This CD is different from anything that is currently out there. It is incdredibly refreshing.

Love Made Me Drunk is a true masterpiece. Gregory Page has the rare talent to write songs that are melancholy, nostalgic and contemporary. He is a modern vaudevillian. While it seems the rest of the music world is dedicated to a mantra of bigger, faster, louder, this music rises above. Gregory has recorded a timeless album.

I discovered Gregory Page a few months ago. I've listened to his music nearly nonstop since then. It rewards repeated listening. If I could label it I'd say it's timeless music--with hints of classic Americana, folk, Kurt Weil, and Jacques Brel. It is deeply romantic and melancholy music and yet you emerge from his haunting melodies and permeating moods, exhilarated and happily dazed. Page has all the depth, mystery, virtuosity and originality of Nick Drake. Yet his songs are more engaged with the world especially in the realm of romance. I hope this summary intrigues, but it will never do his incredible music justice. Listen!

It is clearly inspired by french music from a long time ago. The story is about finding his biological father which ended in france. The combination of french and american music works very well. Music to listen to when you're getting drunk and finding out the next morning that it sounds even better with a hangover.

Jason mraz recommended Gregory page on his blog last month with so much passion and enthusiasm, I felt compelled to give it a listen. I love it! You can feel his sadness through the music and when he sings, you can feel his love resonate through your soul. Give it a listen, you won't stop singing his melodies in your head all day! Enjoy!!
