Synopsis
Product Description Producer/songwriter Greg Laswell returns with his third full-length release for Vanguard records, Take a Bow, which both closes and opens another chapter in the California native's journey about love, loss and rebirth. Following his critically acclaimed fall 2009 Covers EP (one of Filter magazine's "10 best of the year"), Take a Bow features 12 original compositions including the first single "Take Everything" and a new version of the song "Off I Go," which was featured in the 2009 season finale of Grey's Anatomy (one of over six placements he's had on this show alone). All songs produced by Greg Laswell, except for "In Front Of Me" produced by Dan Romer. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBeautifully Crafted Jeff Benson | Aurora, IL | 05/18/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I became a fan of Greg Laswell with his last full-length record, Three Flights from Alto Nido. I saw Greg Laswell play in Chicago while touring on his last album and I really appreciated his low-key stage presence, sense of humor, and his earnest craftmanship. Some of the songs from that album became part of the soundtrack of my life for a while - I played it and played it to the extent that it was hard to imagine a follow-up joining it in the ranks as a fully equal favorite.
However, Mr. Laswell has recorded another album that I think I may be his strongest yet. I haven't been able to get this album out of my head all day. I've been listening to it all week. It's moody and beautifully produced, Greg's voice sounds as great as always, and that indefinable magic that pushes songs from good to great is here. Momentum is built through liberal successions of strong songs - lush instrumentation, choruses so triumphantly inspired that they only need to be hinted at instead of played out for four measures (as on "My Fight (For You)") . . . this is already clearly one of my favorite albums of the year." |
