A stunning debut that's well worth all the buzz it's been getting! Perry Hemus, in case you can't guess from the title, is a whiz on the Fender Rhodes, and he's working here in a perfectly-conceived album that's filled with wonderful tunes. Some of the tracks are spare and contemplative -- letting Hemus' keys take the lead with light support on percussion -- but others soar to the skies on rhythms that are filled with life and joy. A number of tracks feature some great vocals by Lizzy Parks, and other instrumentation includes a lot of acoustic percussion, guitar, trumpet, flute, and upright bass. Really great stuff -- with a deeply soulful vibe throughout. Woodland. 2005.
