REVIEWS

Sublimely mellow acoustic folk / pop.
author: Chris Lea
I should probably disclose that I've been a fan of Scott LePera's work for some time now. And as fellow web nerds go, I think I'm well qualified to say that this work is really top notch. (At the same time, I should also point out that I've never actually spoken to Scott.) I've been playing the guitar for a long time, so I was quite interested to hear this album from Scott and his cohort Laurie. It is exactly as advertised. A real treat as far as mellow, acoustic folk house music goes. I believe that the thing I like most about the album as a whole is that it doesn't fall into the overly- introspective trap that so many collections in this veign do. The first three songs in particular have upbeat tempos which manage to retain a relaxed style that somehow reminds me a little of David Gray. There's some beautiful melodic acousitc picking going on during the fourth track "Wasted" that's well worth hearing. And on the songs where Laurie has lead vocals I can't help but draw comparisons to Shannon Worrell who has been one of my favorite little secrets since college. At any rate, I give the album four stars. There are a few spots where I felt that more time mixing could have helped the sound out some, but such is the way with most of these sorts of efforts. Certainly worth my $10, and I'd recommend the album to anyone who likes the stated influences. And Scott, if you're reading this, I'd love to jam with you any time I make it up to San Francisco. -chl http://www.chrislea.com
