5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, February 4, 2000

I lost faith! I thought the singer/songwriter was a dying breed, especially in the late 90's with all the boybands and pop music. Well, the singer/songwriter line won't die off quite yet, thanks to the glorious efforts of Jude. What can I say except WOW! I first heard Jude on the "City of Angels" sntrk, I was enthralled by his voice, I had to find out who this singer was. Well a little while later I found his CD on the new artist wall at a local store and the rest is history.

Lyircally this album is pure poetry. Musicaly, Jude tenor voice is just amazing, especially on "I Know".

It is hard to pick a favorite song on this CD beacause ALL of them are great, but I would say the tracks most worth checking out are the aforementioned "I Know", "Battered Broken" and "I Do".

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant favorite, May 23, 2000

Rarely do I purchase CDs after hearing a single song, but after hearing Jude's incomparable voice and clever lyrics on "Out of L.A.", I instantly bought the CD. I can't remember the last time I have liked a CD so much after the first listen, but every track on this CD is simply fantastic. From hauntingly poetic ballads to folky upbeat tracks, Jude masterfully continues the tradition of great singer/songwriters like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and more recently Dave Matthews and Ben Harper. "I do" will make even the coldest heart melt, while "Out of L.A." will have you laughing and tapping your feet. Even if you've never heard of Jude, get this album. It's well worth the risk - you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angelic Voice, Devilish Tongue, December 27, 1999

I stumbled upon Jude when skipping through the City of Angels Sountrack ("I Know"), and was instantly addicted. I raced out, and discovered that everyone else in the free world loved him as much as I do, because every copy of No One Is Really Beautiful was sold before I could get there. It took another 2 months on a waiting list to get it, but it was WELL worth the wait. Jude's voice is transporting, his lyrics clearly reflect our times (as good and as bad as that might be), and his music is simply amazing. I find myself listening to his CD almost everyday, and humming the words to myself when not near my CD player. One of this decade's truly addictive songwriters/performers. The only problem I have with him is his limited US Tour Schedule!
