Editorial Reviews

rom the opening notes of Shea Breaux Wells' album, "Piece of the Light", you are drawn in - with evocative imagery, a diverse emotional landscape, intriguing melodies and lush vocals. Shea wrote 10 of the 13 songs on "Piece of the Light", and has blended the genres of jazz and complex piano pop in a way that gives the songs a distinctly classic feel. In addition to writing the lyrics and music, Shea also arranged the album, and co-produced it with producer/engineer Oz Fritz of Grammy Award-winning Tom Waits' "Mule Variations" and "Alice" acclaim. The album features the legendary Robben Ford on guitar, Bill Ortiz on trumpet, Noam Lemish on piano, and David Ewell on stand-up bass, and Alex Aspinall on drums. Of the songs on "Piece of the Light", TAXI said the following: "These are all fantastic songs, performances, etc.,. There is nothing I could tell you that could improve upon anything that's already here. This is a very authentic sounding project - a nice, rich voice with nice, jazz influenced songs." Of "Soothe Me", they said: "Cool, smoky vocal delivery...the track feels great. LOVE the tempo here. Love the verse melody. Love the horn; your vocal on this one is pure honey."

This review is from: Piece of the Light (Audio CD)

It has been a long time since I found myself tapping my foot and bobbin' my head. I actually had to look around and make sure no one was looking - Im sure I looked funny - geez at my age. Several of the songs are worthy of 5 Stars and all of them are very engaging. The songs tell wonderful stories of a journey and the music is wonderful. Hard to believe its a debut album as everything seems to work so well together. I highly recommend this CD. Its so groovy, silky smooth, and insightful as to who the artist is. I think I've been on that journey too. I think Finest of Lines is my favorite.
