Jefferson Denim's Radical New Therapy exposes Denim as that rarest of pop commodities; that guy who writes it, plays it, sings it and produces it, and does all of the above well...really well.

Highlights include:
"Onion," featuring Jefferson's signature "velvet hammer" vocals begging us to "peel him." I say, why not?

"Napolean in Drag," is a pop powered trip to a place we've all been, that grey area between something and something else. Who says kids get all the angst?

My personal favorite is track 9, "Not Your Ordinary Girl." Reminiscent of the very best of the genre, I guarantee this up-tempo tribute to life's simpler pleasures will set your toe to tapping...whether you want it to or not.

I'm giving this balanced, cohesive 10-track offering from the as yet unsigned Denim, 2 thumbs up...because that's all I have. Get it...play it...it's fun...BIG FUN!

RADICAL NEW THERAPY is a triumph!!  I absolutely love it.  It's one of the best CDs I've EVER gotten from an independent artist.  Your vocal layerings and cool rhythms and hooks remind me a little of David Bowie at times, even a touch of Beatles, but with your own spin.  Great lyrics and I can't believe you aren't signed yet!  But maybe you don't want that, because right now you have all the creative control...and you have managed to make such an amazing album without a label's help.  Your music definitely belongs on TV and in movies and I see you are already heading down that path.  I wish you much success, you deserve it.  Of course I'll be playing RADICAL NEW THERAPY on my radio show, but first I have to make myself take it out of the car.....

So far, the CD's played completely through my machine 4 times. Such is the happiness and hipness of tunes like "Celebrity" with uptempo words of 'I could go blind / staring at the marquee light / but for you, I could stand here all night / a crowd of people / trying just to catch a glimpse of you'.

Forgetting 'Glass Onion,' Lennon could've written "Onion" anyway, if he'd been into better solo production. At times Jefferson plops open with clever lyrics and he keeps good band mates behind him, though he knows how to crank a guitar himself. 'break me open / like an onion, like an onion / peel back my skin / like an onion, like an onion'. Cool, dude.
