Brown is an urban jazz
guitarist/vocalist with a sound similar to George Benson's. You've heard
his music on the Weather Channel. (Is that a compliment or an insult?)
He's got a good tone and he's a pretty good writer, so that puts him
ahead of many artists in the field. One thing I've noticed that
distinguishes him from most guitarists is that, when he solos, he uses
the full range of the instrument, not just the upper register.
Tracks: For smooth background
music, all the tracks serve their purpose well. There's a unnecessary
cover of The Stylistic's You Make Me Feel Brand New which adds nothing
to the soulful original. The beautiful ballad Rain is almost ruined by
the unusual, distracting electronic percussion track. Still, there
aren't any tracks that I want to skip. In fact, I'm usually pleased when
a Norman Brown cut comes up during an iTunes shuffle on the work
computer.
Personal Memory Associated with
this CD: I bought this used at the Hastings in Nac not long after
moving. It most likely provided background music while I finished up my
dissertation in '06.
