I just drove 11 hours straight in my restored 1967 Nova with a stack of cd's.  The first one I popped in was Jeff's "Swimming in the Make Believe", and I never put another cd in.  I played that puppy for 11 hours straight and never got tired of it!  By the end of the trip, I was singing all the songs along with the disk.  At one point, I played "Gone" 20 times in a row!!  This is one "sweet" cd

I'll make my review a wee bit shorter than the others.  I purchased this CD along with Gerry Beckley's Horizontal Fall and Robert Lamm's Skinny Boy.  Out of the three, I really enjoyed this CD the most.  Songs were original and easy to listen to and I simply enjoyed it.  What more could I ask for?

I’ll get straight to the point…this album is absolutely brilliant and without doubt Jeff Larson’s strongest and most commercial album to date. In Jeff’s last outing he gave us the six track mini-CD “Two Part Confessional” which I felt was slightly under produced and had a sort of intimate ‘living room’ feel to it but this latest offering moves one step up from that and has a real polished finish to it. It has the ears awake and listening from track one, the cracking “You Remind Me Of The Sun”.  It’s a glorious start to a truly wonderful album.

It’s crammed full of those lush harmonies that are now Jeff Larson’s trademark with beautiful ‘jingly jangly’ acoustic guitars all over it that give the album a real summer feel-good factor. The best thing of all though is not the wonderful production but the songs – they are just so great! To pick out a favourite track on this jewel of a CD is almost impossible (and every listener will have their own favourites of course) but if I had to choose then there are three songs that standout and shine just a little bit brighter than the other gems for me. The heart wrenching “I’ll Be Gone”, the Brian Wilson influenced “Summer Fades” (which is just screaming out to be a summer hit) and the beautifully sung ”Hand Me Down”. 

Those of you that are familiar with his previous work will not be disappointed with this latest offering. Could “Swimming In The Make Believe” be the album that finally breaks Jeff Larson into the mainstream? I really hope so. Although one of rock music’s best kept secrets this artist is a shining beacon in the singer songwriter genre and produces music of the very highest quality but with backing musicians like America’s Gerry Beckley and Brian Wilson Band leader Jeffrey Foskett helping out perhaps it’s hardly surprising. If you like your music to be full of California sounding rock harmonies and you have a penchant for The Eagles, Beach Boys, CSN, Poco and America then this CD is definitely for you. 

I am amazed that this talented artist hasn’t been more widely recognised yet. As someone who lives across the pond rest assured that there will be a small corner of England that will have this CD playing endlessly this summer. Let’s just hope that this new album brings Jeff Larson the success he, and his talent, so richly deserves. Highly recommended – buy it!
