Query: His Best Release

Although his major label releases would find him in much better production hands, this sparse recording really lets the listener in on what Jude could do with his lyrics and his voice. Most of the songs are stripped down acoustic with little backup instrumentation. He comes off almost like a male version of Jewel in a few spots but don't let that comment steer you away if you're not a fan of Ms. Kilcher. This is a great disc and well worth the search of you have to hunt it down. I purchased both of Jude's major label releases and neither one captures the beauty of this disc.
