| I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz | | | | George Duke called The Total Experience, track 2. |
| sensation Boney James for you with just one word... | | | | While this entire album is outstanding some of my |
| Outstanding! | | | | favorites are track 6, Gonna Get It, with Faith Evans, |
| Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to | | | | track 7 Breathe, and track 10, The Way She Walks is |
| just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to | | | | really good to. |
| end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for | | | | My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore |
| me to listen to from start to finish. | | | | [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is the title track Shine. Love |
| Shine has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are | | | | this one. |
| very well put together by this clearly saxophone | | | | Shine Release Notes: |
| playing artist. The thing I enjoy about Boney James | | | | Boney James originally released Shine on September |
| music is that it produces a lot of the kind emotion that | | | | 26, 2006 on the Concord Records label. |
| makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing | | | | CD Track List Follows: |
| from what I can only imagine are his own real life | | | | 1. Shine (featuring Esthero) |

| relationships can certainly be heard. That's some | | | | 4. Let It Go |
| serious horn blowing. | | | | 5. In The Rain (featuring Dwele) |
| Boney James is one of those musicians that has the | | | | 6. Gonna Get It (featuring Faith Evans) |
| ability to just bowl you over with his talent. The kind of | | | | 7. Breathe |
| artist it's really a treat to be able to listen to. | | | | 8. Love Song (featuring Phillip Bailey) |
| Listen and I think you'll agree that the song choices are | | | | 9. Hypnotic (featuring George Benson) |
