Welcome to the EvO:R Independent CD Reviews Section.
I would like to take a few minutes to introduce ourselves to everyone. The EvO:R review section features reviews from various independent musicians that submit material for our consideration.

I wanted to let you know a little about our review teams collective thoughts on music. It's important to let the people we review know what we think of their music and how we listened to their creations.

We hold nothing back! The team has been instructed to be honest and respectful of all CD's reviewed.

About the Artist: This is Dion’s second release entitled Golden Someday (2012). Ames is based out of Colorado.

Golden Some Day is one release that certainly doesn’t disappoint. This is artist that brings to the table effective songwriting via a highly marketable musical delivery. This meshed with a one in a million Pop-Rock-Folk sound and effective visuals and vocals make for a very effective combination no doubt.

For the record Dion is just a breath away from Celtic Folk or even Country but skillfully and methodically never crosses the line into that realm. All songs are wonderfully simple but masterful in their overall arrangements. I can also hear a slight old school psychedelic touch to the music like Cat Stevens. Music reminded me of a cross between Kenny Loggins, Jackson Browne, and classic Bob Dylan. This CD is quite entertaining overall with an amazing vocal front of Ames who is a musical triple threat in my mind. He is a world class songwriter; he has an amazing voice and a likeable appeal (visually and vocally). His lyrical content is straight from the heart and offers a very strong and confident male perspective and spirit. No doubt many females will love him as well.

All song do exactly what they are meant to do via well-crafted movements and top tiered musicianship. The overall production value is superb with a crystal clear sound quality. Top Tracks: Title track, Just a Little More Time, Golden Some Day

Criticism: Dion should put at least one “Bad or Naughty/ Bad Boy” statement on his CD that goes against the grain of the rest of the material. I think this will keep people guessing, off center and speak to even more fans in the process.

Desperate Mama /  Golden Some Day /  Good As The Rain /  Just A Little More Time /  Running Was Wrong /  Wintertime  / 

Conclussion

Jeremy Dion has proven herself again with this latest release. He is clearly an up and coming talent around Boulder. All band members backing him up are clearly capable musicians. I must admit “Golden Some Day” sucked me in like a powerful drug and refused to let go long after the music was over. This usually indicates he is something special about the artist or band in question. Thus deserving praise, recognition and musical fame at the international level.
