Jaimi is an accomplished guitarist with a ripper voice. He's dying to share his experiences and this album is full of beautifully written songs inspired by his travels, particularly in the US. Frequently written on the road, themes vary from the thrill of Highway Life to the heartache of long distance relationships in My Dear Girl. Genres include folk in Rooftops, a bit of soul in Light a Candle (a highlight), blues in Down and a hint of country in Five Flights Up (an interesting choice of style since it was written in Paris). The emphasis is on cool tunes, played at a pace between slow and cruising speed, that are as smooth as new motor oil. I love the rich sound of the electric organ that underscores several songs.
