So Much More

Brett Dennen (Digipak)	Sleep Through The Static Jack Johnson recorded his fourth album using nothing but solar power. This is somehow fitting for a singer-songwriter, surfer, and filmmaker who spends most of his days floating in the ocean under Hawaii's open skies. The forces of nature certainly seem to have found their way in...	Hope for the Hopeless The follow-up to his Dualtone debut, "So Much More", positions him for stardom. Non-stop touring over the past three years with John Mayer, Colbie Calliat, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Sheryl Crow, and Ziggy Marley has led to nationwide talk about Brett's unique sound and inspiring messa...	More So Much More This exclusive EP features songs recorded live at Paste as well as from Long Beach indie store Fingerprints.	These Streets 19-year old Scottish singer/songwriter Paolo Nutini sounds older than his years on his debut album, These Streets. It's not just his careworn, smooth-as-sandpaper voice, either (although, admittedly, it does help). It's more to do with the maturity of the lyrics, and the casual s...
Supply and Demand Born to be mild? Amos Lee's sophomore effort for Blue Note follows firmly in the gentle guitar strums of his well-received 2005 debut and opening slots for Norah Jones and Bob Dylan. Little has changed the second time around, which will come as a relief to those enthralled by hi...	The Reminder Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one capacity or another with Broken Social Scene, Kings of Convenience and half a dozen other bands. The Reminder, her third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwrit...	Trouble Some singer/songwriters (think Paul Westerberg and Elliott Smith) develop their world-weariness through the unforgiving trials of passing years and the heart-breaking grind of the music business. Others (Van Morrison, Neil Young) seem to have sprung from out of nowhere with the f...	We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things Since 2002's jaunty Waiting for My Rocket to Come, Jason Mraz has developed into a more mature, well-rounded pop artist. We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things is his most multi-dimensional work yet, covering everything from groove-based material to ballads. While tracks such as "Mak...	Till the Sun Turns Black How do you follow a debut record that achieved out-of-the-blue grandeur on its way to selling a quarter of a million copies? For Maine's Ray LaMontagne, it's all about shaking up the formula, evading repetition and delivering the unexpected. Till the Sun Turns Black finds the int...

So Much More
Brett Dennen has a very bright future ahead of him. I look forward to his next release.

Buying it AGAIN
I've had this album for over a year and played it over and over. Took it places with me, and now I find the case is empty. Must have left it somewhere. Checked high and low. May be in a friend's car somewhere. I can't wait any longer, so I'm going to buy it again. My 20-something son thinks I'm nuts to buy CDs at all, but what can I say . . . at least I've dumped all of my casettes. This is one of those albums you can listen to all the way through, every song, and not want to skip ahead over the three or four you don't like. It's even, thoroughly enjoyable listening music. And every now and again it gets me up dancing. You won't regret buying this jewel. Can't wait for his new one coming in October.

So Much More
Brett Dennen's best album so far. Look him up on Youtube. You will buy this album once you here a few of his songs.

Very pleasing to the ears...
Brett's voice is quirky and sometimes reminds me of Paolo Nutini; he's also a wonderful song writer. This is a fine album with a great selection of interesting material.

Sophmore blues?
I think Brett is an up and coming force in jazz, and indie rock. His smooth sweet jams are so melodical and very thoughtful for such a young hippy. I just felt his first album was amazing, GET IT! You will be blown away, this was good but no explosion. Round three will be the test. Better than alot, but...I wanted so much more!
