Sometimes, in life, you must have faith. This is one of those times. Buy this CD, and you will never regret your decision. If you like jazz guitar, this CD is essential to your collection.

"Let's Stay Together" is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Don't deprive yourself of this opportunity to hear Steve Laury's arrangement of this classic Al Green song. You will play it at your wedding...if not, then you will regret not having done so. It's that powerful.

His acoustic version of "I'll Be There," makes you want to pull out your old Jackson 5 record, play it again and remember why you loved that song years ago. The music bubbles, sort of like a "slow burn" across every track. Each song gives you something. This CD is well developed, and very thoughtfully arranged.

This CD will hold the test of time. It has for me, and I am sure that it will for you. -- Mark C Turner
