This is Josh Kelly's best album to date. His soulful deep tone comes out beautifully. Unfair, Masterpiece, & Tidal Wave are my immediate favorites, but the whole album is excellent.

I have been Josh Kelley fan for awhile, just think he's an amazing talent with beautifully written lyrics and a smooth, unique voice This CD was produced, written and every instrument played by Josh, showing off his accomplishments not only in writing and vocals, but also blending everything to create a modern sound..

It's the CD you will listen to over and over and feel like you hear something better everytime, enjoy!
highly recommend: "Lift me up" and "Unfair"

This is the fourth album of Josh's, and this boy just keeps getting better and better. Special Company is full of catchy tunes and great writing. It is music at its finest. He does have a different sound from his previous albums, but it is a very refreshing new sound that he has chosen. There is not a bad song on the album, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Okay, so you might ask,"Where have you been all this time?!" Deciding that I don't want to listen only to songs that I grew up with, I'm always on the search for current talent to capture my ear. I've just recently discovered Mr. Kelley's rich voice and engaging music. What can I say? It appears that you can teach an old dog new tricks after all! I like this latest work a great deal and believe that with each compilation he gets stronger and more defined as an artist. If you are an older music lover feeling lost in a sea of new talent, this is a great place to start learning who's out there and currently making some very fine sounds. His voice is luxurious, complex, and deep. He has a way with a phrase, both musical and lyrical. It's soulful and kicky at the same time. I'd highly recommend this one. Invite him in and enjoy his special company.

I'm intrigued enough to sample some cuts from previous CD's soon.
Josh should try to settle for a particular style in order to establish an identity. This is, however, one of the most ecclectic CD's that I have purchased this year. Many different styles, some falsetto highs (some misplaced) This is one that I will keep playing in order to "get-It".
There is something here. I just think that he needs to find a center and an identity.

WOW!!! Great CD and a nice welcomed change from what is usually played on the radio stations today. The only reason i know of Josh Kelley is because he is married to Katherine Hiegel of Greys Anatomy fame. I didn't know her husband was a singer till i looked it up and i had no idea who he was till they were on the red carpet together. I wanted to hear his music and was able to hear 30 second snippets on iTunes. Of course 30 seconds is really not enough but enough to know Josh Kelley has an interesting voice and sound. So i went to the store looking for his CD and of course every music store i go 2 doesn't carry his CD. Only huge music stores like Virgin which carries a better catalogue of content had it but i didn't feel like paying more then 9.99 for the CD so i purchased it some place else. Josh would be considered an INDIE music artist so a lot of places won't carry his CD. Anyways its a great ALBUM and i'm also going to get his other albums as well. Josh has a really sincere genuine voice and when you hear the songs you feel like you're the only one in the room that he's singing to. His voice and sound reminds me alot of Gavin DeGraw another siger who has a very genuine voice and profound lyrics that dont make sense except to the listener. Some critics compair Josh's sound to John Meyer, not sure why. Anyways Josh writes and produces every song on this album except i believe "Unfair" which was written by Diane Warren. But he puts his on little spin on it of course. His voice is a real welcome change from the over saturated songs on the radio with all the yelling or over produced electronic decoder voices. The songs that he writes and the way he writes is BEYOND talented. He is just bursting with ARTISTIC energy and i cant wait to get his other CDs.

I have had the pleasure of hearing Josh on both The Rock Boat 7 and 8. This latest CD is awesome. I can't stop listening to Tidal Wave and Lay Line. I hope Josh will be back on Niner...he's amazing!

Definitely a great CD! I also have all of Josh's albums and love his voice. This album will not disappoint at all. So far, my favorite song is "My Kind." Kind of uncharacteristic for Josh, but still a fantastic song.

Apparently Josh Kelley REALLY enjoys making sweet love to his special lady. *barf* How do we know this you might ask? Because almost every song on here is about the same topic. There are some good songs on here.. I enjoy Two Cups of Coffee, Special Company(the song), Grey Skies, Tidal Wave, Fallin In Love With You. Of course all these songs are about how much Josh loves his "special lady", but they are catchy. A lot of the other stuff is just nauseating or downright boring. I am a huge Josh Kelley fan and this album let me down after the brilliant "For The Ride Home" and "Almost Honest"(VERY underrated album). Just Say The Word was below par I thought, and it keeps this cd from being considered his weakest, but not by much. Unless you are a fan of Josh's, this might be considered decent background music for a romantic evening, but other than that, nothing really ground breaking here unfortunately.

A friend of mine gave me a Josh Kelley CD, "Almost Honest," a few years ago and I loved it (and still do). Recently, I heard his song "Unfair" online and just had to get it. I went to Amazon and previewed the other songs on "Special Company," and I just had to get the CD. It's upbeat, even with a few slower songs, and the lyrics are great! "Special Company" is the perfect album title for this CD. It's definitely a terrific addition to any music-lover's iPod collection. :D
