"Have never once thought about picking up one of those Leanord Nimoy or William Shatner albums, and am honestly nowhere near being the world's greatest Star Trek fan. I recently saw Tim Russ at a Star Trek convention in Vegas, and he came out on stage in a red vest with a guitar while Neil Norman's Orchestra was playing, and I thought to myself `Oh boy, here we go...' But let me tell you -Tim is one fine vocalist, and a pretty decent guitarist as well. He came out and absolutely blew me away with his rendition of `Crossroads' (available on this CD). I promptly bought this CD and one of his others, `KUSHINGAZA,' which I must say is superior to this one. Tim's music is honest and soulful, if the music is not always on par with his singing. He really should be experienced live for a full appreciation of his talent. This is a decent album, but you should check out Kushingaza, for a better introduction to his work (and songwriting). This is NOT what you'd expect."

"Tuvok" stops the world for you

"Tim Russ- known as Star Trek: Voyager's "Tuvok"- makes a wonderful debut with this new CD. Some friends and I previewed this album on the way back from a Trek convention and have reached a conclusion- this release should be on popular radio. I've got a confession: I didn't expect to like it, but after listening I've concluded, most logically of course, that it is a definate buy! Several different genres are represented from light blues to a smooth pop jazzy sound that really picks you up. My personal favorite, "I Would Stop The World For You", is a wonderful moment in which the richness of Russ' voice shines through. Star Trek fans should especially check out this CD. But I promise that even if you're not a fan of Trek or "Tuvok" you'll love this music for the talented singing of Tim Russ. Fascinating."

Not Earth Shattering, but pretty good

"The first few songs on this CD are absolutely horrible but as the tracks progress they get better. Worth the money if your a fan of Voyager and worth the money if your a fan of Jazz."
