Review
Levy can play almost any musical style with perceptive depth and strength. --East Bay Express

Product Description
Adam Levy has earned significant cachet for his work with Norah Jones, as part of her Handsome Band. He shines on Washing Day, a collection of songs that clearly signify his status as a visionary songwriter. The CD is a finely woven fabric of musical and lyrical detail, assembled in patterns that highlight his varied influences from pop and folk to jazz and country. Produced by Marvin Etzioni (Lone Justice).

4.0 out of 5 stars Earthy and organic ..., November 30, 2008

I'd grown to know Adam's guitar playing via Norah Jones. I appreciate his sparse style of adding just the right licks and chord fragments in Norah's music. Having his instrumental release "Buttermilk Channel" in heavy rotation on my iPod and work PC I wanted to add more of Levy's material. "Washing Day" is a sublime collection of songs, a very moody set of organic sounding tunes. Adam has a touch for keeping the arrangements simple (guitar, vocal, bass, drums and occassional keyboard) and this collection of songs walks you through a New York City landscape. Definitely Fall/Winter listening. I find "In the Morning", "Washing Day" and "I Put a Spell on You" and "Unspoken" standouts. A feeling of lose and breakup is very heavy on this collection. Adam's guitar work is very tight, nice gritty telecaster and 335 tones punch and weave throughout the songs. He adds some very efficient and biting solos on "In the Morning". A very good collection by Mr. Levy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyday is Washing Day, July 22, 2008

By	J. Thueson "Anders" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the honor of meeting Adam through myspace and his friend the equally fabulous Amber Rubarth a while back after stumbling on the title track "Washing Day." It was no wonder that Gene Shay and Tom Waits voted to make their production a songwriting lyrics gold medal winner at SxSW in 2007!
After hearing the entire CD performed live by Adam and Bandmates in DC's chic Adams Morgan "Bossa" listening room I had no choice but to buy 3 copies to share with friends, the entire CD has been in high rotation on my i-pod ever since!
Do yourself a favor, order it now and make everyday a washing day!
