Chris Botti To Love Again Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Chris Botti To Love Again Smooth Jazz Music CD Review
By Clyde Dennis Dennis

The exceptionally talented Smooth Jazz artist Chris Botti has released his CD entitled To Love Again. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Chris Botti fans, and Smooth Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of To Love Again Chris Botti's artistic excellence is on full display as he has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be his best work to date.

To Love Again kicks off with a great track, Embraceable You, that I anticipate will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It really is a very nice track.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Chris Botti's most impressive releases ever.

Overall To Love Again is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely 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.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - What Are You Doing With The Rest Of Your Life?, track 4 - Let There Be Love, and track 11 - Pennies From Heaven.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12, Here's That Rainy Day. Great track!

Love Machine

Love Machine
By Jenn Richards

Let's say you're a great talker. Sexy and passionate. Laid back. Knows how to have fun. Great kisser. Unpredictable and you're a 'rare to find'. Your love is one of a kind, silly, fun and sweet. You have your own unique sexiness and you're the most caring person every single girl wants to meet. And last but not the least, you're amazing in bed.

Did I say AMAZING IN BED???

Frankly, if you're doubting yourself then you have a big problem. Whether you’re actually bad in bed or just low on confidence, I can’t say. This is up to you to find out, while I’m just doing some explaining for your convenience. The root of the problem lies in the very simple fact that it takes a lot of experience to know if a woman has an orgasm or if she’s faking it. And even experienced men can’t always tell if the woman’s faking it or not. Bottom line: you can never be sure that your performance is top quality.

And that’s even before we take into account slip ups and “that time” when you were too tired or too stressed or you had too much to drink and, well, you know what happened. Unfortunately, these things can erode a man’s peace of mind and confidence and make him suspicious of his lady’s behavior, even if he shouldn’t be. Some times are good and some times are bad and there’s little you can do about it. Loosing confidence in yourself and throwing good self-esteem out the window just because of a slip up is not the way to deal with this.

Okay then, put all the blame to stress. Stress is one of the great “sex killers” nowadays because no man can truly enjoy himself if he keeps thinking about deadlines, bosses, nasty co-workers or credit card debt. We do live in a stressful world and the modern fashion that surrounds a man with dozens of machines in order to allow him to work harder and harder everyday is doing it’s best to ruin sex around the world. I’m sure that many men who have to resort to Viagra would do better to try and relax a little and take things easier.

Aside from its direct impact on performance, stress has some side effects that are just as bad. Some men take to drinking because of it. It always starts small, since going out with the guys is fun and, hey, we’re just having a few beers. Before you know it the number of beers grows and the “evenings out” turn into “nights out”. Small wonder that a stressed man with a significant quantity of alcohol in his body is not performing in bed as usual. Men need to recognize the early signs of stress in their lives and take control of the situation.

Remember that once you’ve started asking questions about your performance you could easily slide into a pattern where low self esteem triggers a failure, which, in turn, sends self esteem even lower and so on. Try to be a bit more positive about things. You were probably tired or stressed. Or you may need to learn some new positions and break the bedroom routine a bit. If you are keen to get sex right then you need Lovecentria™. Lovecentria™ contains the very best in video, written and interactive sexual advice to ensure that bedroom faux pas are a thing of the past.

Walter Beasley Ready For Love CD Review

Walter Beasley Ready For Love CD Review
By Clyde Dennis Dennis

I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz sensation Walter Beasley for you with just one word Outstanding!

Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Ready For Love. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Ready For Love is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

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.

Listen to Ready For Love and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Walter Beasley's horn blowing is clearly in top form. Of particular note on this offering is his amazing rendition of Be Thankful For What You've Got. If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorite tracks are track 3 - Be Thankful For What You've Got, track 4 - Ready For Love and track 8 - Land Of The Sun.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6, She Moves Me. What a nice track!
