Album Notes

From twenty years on the road with the likes of Steven Wright, Robin Williams, Bonnie Raitt and Nicolette Larson, James Lee chose ten of his favorite songs performed live and produced them with the likes of Timothy B Schmit, Ken Lyon, Rob Kyle, Rita Coolidge, Jim Ehinger, Michael Johnson.
The result is a timeless recording that has garnered airplay on jazz, pop and folk stations since it's release ten years ago. This is a newly remastered version with Don't Go Talking To Strangers recorded. A must hear.

Terrific CD
author: Folkfan46
This is the album that introduced me to the phenomenal talents of Mr. James Lee Stanley. When I first heard songs like "Touch Like Magic", "Everyday", and "All I Ever Wanted" I was stunned by how well this man sings and writes. Then I heard "My My (Chiaroscuro)". Wow. This is probably one of the best songs ever written. Buy this CD!
