It is a very fresh and fantasious reggae cd. Never tedious and every track has something to tell. I reccomend this piece.

Review from John Crossett of GoodSound.com: Guitar slinger Art "Ski" Halperin was legendary producer John Hammond’s final discovery in a career that brought to the masses Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. That Halperin’s name isn’t better known is due more to Hammond’s premature death than to Halperin’s talent -- which is tremendous. He currently works with a loose conglomeration of musicians from which he fills his group, Work of Art, for any particular recording date. Their previous disc, Lift, was a folk-rockish production, but Waves is reggae -- apparently one of Halperin’s big musical loves. Nor is this bland, ordinary reggae, but the down’n’dirty, harmonious, ganja-flavored variety. Waves is a worthy successor to the work of another legend, Bob Marley. Listen to "Jack and the Herb Stalk" for a musical version of the old fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk," told through the eyes of a Rastafarian. It’s a hoot -- and something Marley might have recorded himself. One big difference between most reggae and Waves is engineer Barry Diament, whose mixing and mastering here make Waves sound as good as its music... The bass is deep and clean, Halperin’s guitar work shines, and the drums thump joyfully, all with a sense of space and air. This is an album to savor over and over. . . .

Art "Ski" Halperin and Barry Diament did it again! After "Simplicity", this is another great cooperation resulting in a truly outstanding album, beautifully recorded. Also check out their other cooperation called "Lift", which is available from www.soundkeeperrecords.com Thank you for some great music!
