Artist: Jamie Cullum
Title: Twentysomething
Year of Release: 2004
Label: Verve
Genre: Lounge Singer??
Never heard of this artist before.Picked up this CD cause the cover caught my attention, looked at the track listing and found it to be very eclectic, old classics like Singing in the Rain, I Get a Kick Out of You, What a difference a Day Makes, Rock like Hendrix's Wind Cries Mary, Radiohead's High and Dry, and one of my favorite Jeff Buckley tunes- Lover, You Should Have Come Over.
I've been listening to this cd the last couple of weeks and really enjoy it. Jamie's voice does not have a very large range, and is kinda gravelly but what he lacks in range he makes up for in emotion, Vocals are front and center on the entire album.
Jamie's versions of these old favorites, Rock classics, and a couple of originals are catchy and listenable over and over. Even with his lack of vocal range, he pulls off Jeff Buckley's song quite well.
I'm not sure how to classify the genre of this CD. There's a little bit of everthing in this CD, jazz,rock, salsa, I classified this under Lounge Singer, because thats what it reminds me of without the cheesiness.
Enjoy.:music:
