One word describes the CD Ready For Love from Walter Beasley... AWESOME!
This one grabs your attention right from the beginning with Free and doesn’t let go until the very last note of the very last song Willa Mae’s Place, which is another great track by the way.
Ready For Love is a nicely varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly outstanding artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance.
They’re all here.
Walter Beasley possesses the characteristic of being able to bowl you over with his talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.
Overall Ready For Love is outstanding from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Smooth Jazz fan. Really sensational from beginning to end.
While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are Free [track 1], Be Thankful For What You've Got [track 3], and Miss You [track 7].
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore ...as in "Stuck On REpeat" is track 6, She Moves Me. Great track!
