This record took me a bit by surprise, because I'd never heard of Jason Eady, and someone gave me the CD to see what I thought of it. The surprise is not that I really like this album, but that I think it's so good that I can't believe I never heard of Jason Eady before. I mean, I keep my ear to the ground, my finger on the pulse, but, to spin yet another trite metaphor, he had slipped completely under my radar. Jason has a strong voice that can get way loud when he wants to rock and yet be quite tender when he's being introspective. The production by Walt Wilkins & Tim Lorsch is spot on, letting Jason shine through, while beautifully complementing his talent with additional vocals by the amazing Marcia Ramirez and superb backing instrumentation. Never heard of Jason Eady? Take my word for it, and I don't say this lightly, because I do have a reputation to uphold: This is one thoroughly enjoyable CD.

Wow - what a find! I first saw Jason at the White Elephant in Fort Worth and was immediately drawn to his passion and sound. Then, after really listening to his CD, I liked him even more. His lyrics are thoughtful and deep but also optimistic. It is a CD you can listen to in the car and sing along or at home dancing around the house. There are so few songs with beautifully worded thoughts, but this CD has many.

Saw him play an acoustic set at Love & War in Texas last weekend; amazing performer, a true talent. Love the CD, and am looking forward to hear him play with his full band very soon.

His music is outstanding. Definitely someone on the rise to watch.
