Kim Waters "All For Love" Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Kim Waters for you with just one word… Outstanding!
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
All For Love has a nicely varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist.
One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
If you’re even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you’ll enjoy this album. Overall All For Love is a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
While the entire album is outstanding the truly standout tracks are She’s My Baby [track 1], Dream Machine [track 6], and Sideways [track 10].
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 3, Day Dreaming. Great track!
