Review title: What happened to Steve Oliver?
Product review: Used to be you could count on Oliver to deliver a solid album of guitar-based smooth jazz, uplifting tunes that made you reach for the volume control, tap your foot, and sing along to the lilting guitar lines.This latest effort is his weakest to date, a mistitled album that seems to have been made on autopilot; the only radiance to be found is in the backlight used in the cover art. There's only one song here that rivals any of the best songs from his 2002 release, Positive Energy, a song called Good to Go that is in fact a pastiche of High Noon.The rest of the album is uninspired smooth jazz. Play it in the background and the only thing that will catch your attention are the three saccharine vocal tracks. I give it a 2, instead of a 1, for being inoffensive background music.If you haven't yet purchased any recordings from Steve Oliver, start with Positive Energy, one of the best contemporary jazz albums of the 00's. Leave Radiant in the bin.
