Not sure what’ happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better American/English gets. American/English simply stated is one of Acoustic Alchemy‘ best CDs to date.

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Acoustic Alchemy is one of those groups that has the ability to just bowl you over with their talent. The kind of artist it’s really a treat to be able to listen to.

Overall American/English is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definetly a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore […as in “Stuck On Repeat”] is track 4, Trinity. Outstanding!
