GORDON WEISS - Sum Of Its Parts

Out of nowhere comes "Sum Of Its Parts", the debut from one Gordon Weiss. And a more perfect title could not be had as Weiss blends, bleeds and balances a bit of varying song styles, evident with the contrast of "Fountains Of Weezer"(which sounds like, ahem, you know who) and is followed by "Too Much", a mid-tempo rocker that could have walked off either a Black Crowes album or a late 70s Eric Clapton one. A compliment, for the record! Then comes "It`s Easy" which starts off with an Eagles/Bread guitar exchange and ends up finding its way to sounding like a lost track from the Barenaked Ladies. Then the killer "Red Shoes Revisted" pulls off the difficult task of evoking a hero who shall be un-named if you canÃ�ï¿½Ã�ï¿½t pick up on the obvious reference. Listen to the first song below for further reference help.

Those are only the first four of 12 songs. This mucho enjoyable and consistently listenable display of `good taste acumenÃ�ï¿½Ã�ï¿½ continues - beginning to end. You canÃ�ï¿½Ã�ï¿½t hang your hat easily and say "Sum Of It Parts" sounds like this artist, that artist because it is what it says it is - `sum of its partsÃ�ï¿½Ã�ï¿½. Bold, Beautiful and Very Highly Recommended!
