5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Performer & Album, April 21, 2006

By	Bradley D. Horton (Jefferson, Maryland United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife and I saw Geoff Byrd open for Hall & Oates in Washington D.C. a few weeks back. He came onstage solo, armed only with an acoustic guitar, and blew everyone away. He is a singing and songwriting talent and this album is amazing from start to finish. This album only gets better with each playing as layer after layer is revealed...first, you notice the catchy melodies, then you appreciate the incredible vocal talent of Byrd, and then the great lyrics.

Do yourself a favor...grab this album and appreciate an artist who is the real deal and on his way up.

This is a no-brainer!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Singer - Great CD, April 7, 2006

By	Peter Edfelt (Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I accidently stumbled over Geoff Byrds music a couple of months ago. I soon realised that this is what should be playing on the radio instead of the over the top produced pop without any soul.

Don't be intimiated by the crappy cover with the somewhat cheesy picture of Mr Byrd, this guy IS for real.

There is not a single song on this CD that is not worth listening to. That's whats incredible! I am usually glad if I can find a pop singer that has two or three songs on a CD that I like never mind a whole CD!

These are the best tracks imho:
*Silver Plated
*Before Kings
*Elusive Butterfly
*I Will Be There

If you, like me, like talent seen in the likes of Gavin DeGraw and Andrew Strong then this should be next on your list.

(Sorry for the spelling above - I'm from Sweden. But I'm guessing my English is better than your Swedish.)

5.0 out of 5 stars GOTTA GET THIS CD, November 22, 2005

By	G. Dell (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I kind of found Geoff's music by accident but man what an incredible find!!! His lyrics are lilting and ethereal and deep and the music goes deep into your soul yet it is all very thought provoking and uplifting!!!! IT feels so good to listen it to!! It makes me HAPPY!!!

I saw him perform live and he is a funny, humble, talented guy who definately shows he has a heart of gold. I highly recommend this CD and definately if you ever get a chance to see him live.. it makes you love his music even MORE!!!

Can't wait for the next CD!!!
