Title: This multifaceted and honest CD delights on many levels
Review: Even after the countless times I've listened to this CD, I'm surprised to find still more about these songs that make me smile. There's something about them that is other (and greater) than the sum of their first impressions. This isn't to depreciate the obvious -- that Jann Klose is a truly gifted tenor, that the songwriting is honest and powerful, that the musicians are talented and energetic. There is, beyond all this, a current of hidden complexities, a sly wink to the listener that begs a closer look. The songs vary from the bright organic hooks of "One Little Chance" to the soulful and sexy "Real Easy to Say" without revealing the mechanism behind it all. It definitely has mass appeal, but doesn't sacrifice what makes it feel so genuine. Jann Klose is a talent to be dealt with. Highly recommended.
