I know I am somewhat behind in posting these reviews. Next month, I'll have to take inventory and see how close I am getting to my goal.
I listened to James Blunt's first CD, All the Lost Souls. I think the first James Blunt song I heard was You're Beautiful. I did not know who he was, but I knew I liked that song. I kept forgetting to look him up. Then I saw him on Fox News, and I was impressed. So I requested all his CD's at the library. This was the first one to come in.
Now, I will say that I am not a huge fan of this CD. His voice is fantastic--don't get me wrong. He sounds great on all the songs, but it seems that tracks #1-#7 are very strange and sometimes ethereal. They sometimes seem very dark.
Ah, but then we get to track 8: Shine On. Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about this song. It is extremely sensual and highly emotional. It spoke to my heart, and all I could think about was the guy in my life. And tracks 9 and 10 are pretty nice, too. It seems that it took most of the album for James Blunt to find his style and who he is as a singer. I am sure people would disagree with me, but that is my opinion. I look forward to listening to his next two albums--his second is currently in my car waiting for my listening ears.
If you are curious to find more information about James Blunt, look no farther than here. I think you will find him an impressive young man with a simple talent that he uses for the good of others.
