CD ReviewsSmoothjazz.com Review Sandy Shore | Monterey, CA | 06/02/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "My first exposure to the music of Colorado-based guitarist Joel Rodney Siemion was his first album, EPIPHANY, and I've been a big fan ever since. His second release, CAYMAN MOON, is another superb collection of originals, each song capable of transporting us, his listeners, to magical places, whether they be a Caribbean Island ("Cayman Moon"), a festive Mexican port ("Ensenada"), Denver's hip and happening Lower Downtown ("LoDo Bop"), or deep inside ourselves ("The Hope"). Joel's enlisted the support of an incredibly talented team for this project, including Dotsero's Tom Capek (producer/keys) and Steve Watts (sax), Rippingtons bassist Kim Stone, Rob Rebholz of Images (saxes, flute, EWI), plus producer Darren Rahn and mixing engineer Steve Avedis. The result is an exceptional CD that shines brilliantly from start to finish. I like every song on this disc, from the gently sweet "Any Other Way" to the sassy "LoDo Bop," but I must share with you the emotional welling up I experienced listening to Joel's musical salute to Denver's own "Dotsero," which features Steve Watts on sax. Anyone who can elicit that kind of feeling with their melding of melody, performance, and passion has my vote. I have to say that listening to CAYMAN MOON on this sunny Seattle morning in May is one of those special moments, where Joel Rodney Siemion's beautiful acoustic guitar voicing, the arrangements, and the whole feel of the music couldn't be a more perfect fit. Life is good! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN"
