Amos Lee

Love the CD! Love the price and the ease of ordering and having it quickly delivered to my home!

After trying out Lee Alexander and Barrie Maguire on his first and second albums respectively, Amos Lee turns to yet another producer, Don Was, for his third. It lives up to all expectations: no screaming, no shouting, no sudden loud noises. And though the bass lines are rich and deep, there are definitely no floor-shaking beats. This is sweet & gentle music. Just the way this old man likes it.

I love the man's voice and it's so good, so spiritually nourishing, to hear a singer who actually SINGS and clearly puts his heart and soul into doing so. It's also good to listen to songs that speak about other things beside the usual, the predictable and the tired. I could be mistaken but I could swear I hear Bob Dylan influences.

All songs are Lee compositions and he also plays guitars. His core rhythm section is made up of Doyle Bramhall, Jr on guitar, Spooner Oldham on keyboards, Pino Palladino on bass and James Gadson on drums but also making appearances are Greg Liesz on pedal steel, Rami Jafee on keys, Jamie Muhoberac on additional keys, Justin Stanley on keys, bass, drums, percussion, Don Was on keys and Patrick Leonard on harmonium & b-3. String arrangements are by the legendary Larry Gold.

It doesn't quite reach the dizzy heights of sweetness and angst that his self-titled debut Amos Lee did but I definitely prefer this to its follow up, Supply and Demand. Four very solid stars.

Amos Lee is fabulous. He has the most soulful voice, great lyrics, a wonderful band, and is not bad to look at either!!
I recently saw him in concert at Workplay, and he was amazing. The entire audience was mesmerized. Every song on this CD, as well a his other releases, is either a 4 or a 5 star song. I have all his releases on my ipod, and have not found one song that I don't like.
Soulful, romantic, beautiful, lovely voice, and lovely man!

This ranks up there with his first cd...at least it's close behind. Amos Lee has so much talent; he writes his own songs, plays guitar beautifully and has a voice that reaches deep down inside me where few can go. His music comes from his heart and his soul. I sometimes feel that we must have met in another lifetime because his lyrics speak to me on a such a personal level.

EVERYONE should get Amos Lee's music! He is so deserving of a huge audience!

Well, I went to the Amos Lee Show last night with my wife, here in Philadelphia and felt compelled to write a review of Last Days at the Lodge.

There are many gems on this LP and for the most part, singer songwriter fans will be happy with the purchase. "Listen" starts the LP out, giving fans what they know and love about Amos: smart, caring lyrics, tight vocals and a nice rhythmic jam. "What's Been Going On", another track with much airplay, will have you hitting the repeat button on your ipod over and over as well!

However, I need to mention there seems to be a few filler songs here too. Amos seems to have tried the Maxwell falsetto-RB-thing with songs like "Baby I want You." And although I applaud him for mixing it up, it just doesn't play up to his strengths as a singer. As with many singer songwriters, the record executives seem to push them for more material `while they're hot', often before they're ready (this I feel is the case also with Ray Lamontagne latest LP). Sometimes, it take years for a really good song to brew and that is why, first time fans would be happier with the LP Supply and Demand. Long time fans and music lover looking for something a little different will still enjoy Last Days at the Lodge. Oh and also, It is an absolute must to see Amos Lee live!

Very talented musician, soulful voice, and an authentic music of his own. This is a great album...

I was in Starbucks one morning and heard a song overhead that was so beautiful that I had to go back to the counter and ask what it was. Amos Lee - 'Arms of a Woman'. Had never heard of him. I went out and bought the CD. I love his voice. I don't like all of the songs, but most of them are wonderful. And of course, my favorite is 'Arms of a Woman'!

I am not typically a person that enjoys jazz music or even close to it. I heard a 2 second clip of "Arms of a Woman" on a commercial for the album and I was intrigued enough to check it out. Well, I purchased the album and was blown away by the artist's vocals. I don't even know how to describe how much I like this album:) All music should be this good, and it is truly a shame that artists this good do not come around more often. Amos Lee has turned me into a true, lifelong fan. I am so glad that I discovered this artist and I am truly looking forward to more great stuff that he puts out.

This album is so good! Recommended through and through. If you're looking for something to chill out to and sing along to then look no further.

He is fantastic. I love his style; it's very "coffeehouse". You are making a great purchase with this cd.

I came across Amos Lee quite by accident; a friend sent me the CD saying he'd ordered it on someone's recommendation and then didn't care for it. Are you kidding me? I liked it the first time through, loved it thereafter. Nice, mellow sounds, some jazzy, some bluesy, all great.

If you don't know about Amos Lee, then you need to. He is a perfect balance of folk and soul. You can listen to his CDs over and over. This is poetic stuff that just makes you feel good about life. Skip dinner tonight and use the nine bucks to download this CD... it will be the best calorie saving and smile making decision you have made in a long time.

I would give this CD more then 5 stars if I could. It is the second cd by Amos Lee that I have purchased so far, after hearing how good the first one was, and I am sure that I will continue to by a lifelong fan.

Heard him perform on Austin City Limits...was not disappointed when I ordered the CD. It is wonderful music from a talented songwriter & performer. Have shared it with friends & family & they are impressed as well.

I think Amos Lee is one of the most talented musicians that I have come across in the recent past. He got this album after listening to "Arms of a woman" from the Last Kiss soundtrack. This album is packed with great songs and was very impressed with his vocal talent. Overall a great album!

I absolutely loved this great people movie and after watching the scene of all 3 women singing, dancing and laughing in the car to the "Cha Cha" song I just had to have this soundtrack...Lot's of fun music...rent the movie and you will just have to buy the CD.
