A nice little record from Jon Regen – a singer who works in a space that's somewhere in between jazz and more familiar singer/songwriter modes – in a legacy that might begin with Ben Sidran in the 70s, and come up to present work by an artist like Jamie Cullum! Regen's got a nicely warm sound in his approach – but not one that's too smooth or commercial – as most of these songs are very understated, and done with a mix of lead piano instrumentation and other touches around the edges – sometimes maybe a bit of stepped-up rhythm, but never in a way that challenges the vocals. Titles include "Hole In My Heart", "Every Night", "Goodnight New York", "New Sensation", "Who Cares If Everybody Else Knows", "Jupiter Calling", and "Higher Ground". CD

Great compliation of covers from Snow Patrol, the Lemonheads, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Aswad, Steel Pulse, Sylvia Vrethammar, the Scissor Sisters, Nina Simone, George Benson, Jamie Cullum, Nostalgia 77, Booker T & The MG's & much more. CD
