5.0 out of 5 stars If there is one album you should buy this year, 10 Feb 2003
By G HEWITT (England) - See all my reviews
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.
'My philosophy' - a beautifully crafted work that shows the poetry of this guy's lyrics. I could rant about them all.
However don't let the blend of lyrics/poetry and the variety of hugely talented musicians working with this fife troubador be the only reasons for your purchase, add in the indescribably well engineered production on this album that just lifts this piece to another dimension.
The terribly hackneyed advice about only buying one album holds so true...

5.0 out of 5 stars 67 minutes - none of them wasted, 16 Feb 2003
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.
