I first heard the song "Waiting for the Sun" on a Jazziz compilation. In the isolation of that setting, the song is a lovely little gem: the spare and simple arrangement beautifully framing Brier's fragile, unpretentious voice as well as the song's literate and clever lyric. I expected more in this vein from the CD, but that led me to be sorely disappointed. While there are some of that song's smart spirit on the rest of the the CD -- like the reference to "That's Amore" (of all things!) in "Suddenly It's Love," and the fanfare from Jimmy Webb's/The Fifth Dimension's "Up, Up and Away" in "Closer to the Sun" -- the CD settles too often for overblown, even schmaltzy arrangements that only accentuate the limits of Brier's nasal baritone. Don't get me wrong: I do like Brier's voice -- it is plaintive, vulnerable, simple and honest, with occassional horn-like and woodwind sounds -- but it needs better material and more considerate production than it gets here. If Brier can write and sing a song as good as "Waiting for the Sun," then he can do better than the treacle on the rest of this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Beautiful !, February 11, 2009

I lucked on to this CD! The music is smooth and romantic, uplifting and inspirational! It takes me back to old loves and dreams of the future. I can relate. I love driving with it as much as I do listening to it over a candlelight dinner. This is a must have for feel good love songs. Every song has somethng in the melody that catches you off guard and draws you in. Although I have some favorites, every song is good on the whole CD! I would highly recommend "Waiting for the Sun" and give it an A+.

I gave this gift to myself first and have reordered it at least 5 times to give to my music loving friends. It is a quiet, calming, uplifting, light jazz collection to be enjoyed by all.
