III's new album

Jay, congrats on the release. I'll be buying the music this weekend.

I've been fortunate enough to be in possession of the album for a few weeks now. I LOVE it. Super job, Jay. Impeccable. It's been getting a huge workout on my MP3. (-;

This is fantastic news, Jay. I am SO looking forward to having it and listening to it.

I'm going to buy a cigarette lighter so I can put on the CD, wave my lighter in the air and get that Frampton vibe. I jest, only a little.

This news makes me very happy. Well done, man.

Can't wait to hear it!

hey! how did i miss this?

congrats, jay.
i'm anxious to check it out!

Wowzers, Jay, congratulations! Can't wait to load it on the ol' iPod.

Did anyone grab up Jay's album?

Awesome stuff!

Best of luck!

Wow, I missed this, somehow.

Just listened to the MySpace postings and again, wow. I'm really impressed. Great work.

yep, i just check it out on itunes. sounds great.

i'm a particular fan of ka'imi - i've heard the whole thing before,...great song!

Yes...I love Ka'imi too. I have the album on my MP3. Love it.

I'm listening to the album right now.

Leon ... nice sixties vibe, juxtaposed with a very modern lead guitar. Cool.

Candyland Quicksand ... LOVE the groove in this tune. I'm really not a fan of rapping, but here the counterpoint between it and the smooth harmonies in the chorus works beautifully. I especially dig the keyboard-ish guitar riff leading into the full solo. Well thought out and executed, Jay.

The Solitary Man ... a mood change at an appropriate spot. Pretty song.

I Do ... he do play rockin' guitar. Instrumental with balls-out soloing.

Ka'imi ... and he plays acoustic too! Made me want to pick up my guitar and play and sing along.

Train of Thought ... another instrumental. Way cool bounce between crushing raunch and jazzy clean soloing.

Jimmy & Winnie ... head on out to Route 66 and crank this one up with the top down.

Together Well ... you can float away on this one. Vocals are a bit reminiscent of Crosby Stills Nash & that other Young.

Go On and Crush Me ... I love moody songs, and this one definitely fits the bill. Lovely harmony guitar solo outro.

The Deserts of Mergatroid ... another cool instrumental.

Cosmic Boy ... goes-to-eleven guitar sound without overwhelming the tune. Rockin'!

All Alone With You ... there were other songs here I thought would have made for a good finish to the album, but when this one arrived I realized it was the perfect song to wrap things up.

Really good job, Jay. If there's any critique I could offer, it would be on the technical end ... I thought the lead vocals could have been a touch more forward in the mix at times, but that's about it. I've bought major label releases I enjoyed far less than your work here. Kudos, my friend.

Three songs into this album, and I'm stunned. I thought it would be good, but no. It is SERIOUSLY good.

I'm not all that fond of saying "he sounds like so-and-so", but this is clean, warm, eclectic, passionate music - there's a thrilling dichotomy between the buoyant energy, the way Public Image Ltd worked in the mid-to-late 80's (the propulsive, sunny beat, but without the Lydon shriek) and a sort of warm distance in the vocals, the way Bob Mould and Hüsker Dü sounded.

This is rich, powerful, well-played, thoughtful, and moving music.

I'm going to wear this album out, and I'm going to recommend it.

Congratulations, Jay, man. I'm delighted for you. And thank you for sharing it with us.

Serious Congrats! I'll be checking your album out very soon. Looking forward to listening to it.

... cool!
Neat titles too, particularly 'Solitary Man.'
I will flatter myself that that one is about me
