CD Reviews

A rare voice.
Robert Black | Seattle, WA USA | 11/21/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A rare and unusual voice with great power and yet a beautiful soft touch. The

music is beautifully produced but not over produced. As someone else said,

it's hard to believe a talent like this doesn't have more buzz.



Jeff Austin Black clearly sings straight from the heart. And in this day and age,

that alone warrants a listen."

"Great male vocals with good range, from smooth to growly almost. Edgy guitar w/a hint of U2 at times. Some real stand out tracks (Summer Nights, Inside, Only Human, Save Us All). Rarely felt overproduced. Surprised he's not had more buzz. I bet he sounds great in a small, live venue."
