Passionate and honest American music. Stiles has got style
"Sanctuary," the debut album from J.L. Stiles, is a wonderful collection of blues, folk, and jazz inspired songs. Lyrically, Stiles's tunes are sophisticated, honest, and heartfelt renderings of classic blues themes- love, faith, isolation, and injustice. Musically, Stiles pays homage to the influences of legends like Mississippi John Hurt and Jimmy Reed,...

JL Stiles was my math teacher
Haha I remember when he was my algebra teacher at Skyline Community College, and he had just received the copies of this debut album. He even played some songs for us in class!
Needless to say, he was very enthusiastic about this cd when it came out. Much more enthusiastic about it than teaching algebra thats for sure!
A nice cd with good...

This review is from: Sanctuary (Audio CD)
"Sanctuary," the debut album from J.L. Stiles, is a wonderful collection of blues, folk, and jazz inspired songs. Lyrically, Stiles's tunes are sophisticated, honest, and heartfelt renderings of classic blues themes- love, faith, isolation, and injustice. Musically, Stiles pays homage to the influences of legends like Mississippi John Hurt and Jimmy Reed, yet in a way that is fresh, contemporary, and definitely his own. The album's standout songs include "The Mainstream," "The Difference," and the title track "Sanctuary." Indeed, "Sanctuary" is at once haunting and extremely catchy. You'll be singing it for days. Overall, Stiles is a talent who shouldn't be missed and the album "Sanctuary" is a must buy for fans of genuine American music.

A nice cd with good music. He was nice enough to give me a copy as he had brought some to school that day to hand out to some of his students who had expressed an interest in his music.

Stiles kicks a..(can I say that here?), March 28, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sanctuary (Audio CD)
Completely original stuff. This guy can hammer out the chords, and he throws in a tasty harmonica - simultaneously I might add to boot.
