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 Dressed To Chill. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
This CD grabs your attention right from the outset with Dressed To Chill and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song To Love Her, which is another great track by the way.
Dressed To Chill is a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They're all here.
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 Marion Meadows's most impressive releases ever.
Marion Meadows possesses the characteristic of being able to win you over with him talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.
If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this album. Overall Dressed To Chill is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Marion Meadows is clearly in top form.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Dressed To Chill, track 3 - Dance With My Daughter, and track 9 - Scent Of A Woman.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 6 - I Believe I Can Fly. Great track!
