If there is one album you should buy this year,
By G HEWITT (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shining Brother, Shining Sister (Audio CD)
It is extremely difficult to understand why Jackie Leven is so little known on this island. This album is by far the best of his work thus far. A classic example of Celtic soul whilst mixing poetic lyricism with the vocals and range so seldom heard. What a mix of style and substance. The pounding opening track of 'Classic Northern Diversion' - Better driving music you will seldom hear. The sonically upbeat, almost poppy, 'Irresistible romance' with a hook that I defy you not to hum. 'Savannah waltz' is the vehicle that allows this soul balladeer to fully exploit such a powerful voice.

67 minutes - none of them wasted,
This review is from: Shining Brother, Shining Sister (Audio CD)
There are some musicians still prepared to work for a living and Jackie Leven is one of them.Words and tunes that you can take away and think about and a voice and guitar to make sure that you do.The production (by Jackie) is crammed with details.Poems and snatches of music bookend the songs.The same coherence and attention to detail extends to the CD booklet. In summary all the ingredients for a slow growing work of art.

Excellent Surround, Great Music,
By Russell Engebretson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shining Brother Shining Sister (Audio CD)
Jackie Leven's intricate, stylistically diverse music is almost impossible to describe. Like David Ackles (a very different, but like Leven, nearly unknown and brilliant songwriter/singer), he is one-of-a-kind. His songs encompass blues, rock, folk, Scottish ballads, and many other musical genres. On top of that, Leven is a fine poet whose lyrics convey an unsentimental message of joy, despair, and heartbreak that will resonate with anyone who has spent much time on earth.
This is one of the good Silverline discs that boasts an immersive 5.1 mix (rather than a digitized rear speaker ambiance). One side is the CD, while the other side contains the 5.1 and 2.0 high resolution DVD-Audio (and Dolby Digital 5.1 for those who do not have a DVD-A player). Great songs, fine hi-res mix, and a low price make this a must-buy disc. |
