Uninvited Guest

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: "Uninvited Guest" is good jazz, but Kenny White's other CD's are great! It's not up there with "Symphony in 16 Bars." It is a little more melancholy than his other works.

Brilliant!

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: An impressive album, which will amaze anyone who has never seen Kenny White live, and live up to the memories of anyone who has. Like many of the great singer-songwriters, Mr. White defies easy classification, moving at will between cool jazz, intricate folk, and classic rock styles. Do not miss this album!

Awesome

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I've had the good fortune to see Kenny White twice now, in concert with Cheryl Wheeler. He has to be one of the best small venue performers around. His lyrics are dryly humorous, sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes laugh-out-loud ironically funny. Vocals are unpolished and real. How do his hands move over the keys so fast?? My Recurring Dream is an especially interesting song, wry and funny and strange. Don't miss this guy. If you can't see him live, try one of his albums. You won't be disappointed.

Invite Him

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: In concert, he looks like a cross between James Taylor and John Malkovitch. His piano sounds a little like Bruce Hornsby, but he has better chops. His lyrics and melodies are amazing, reminiscent of Elvis Costello at his peak, with a little Springsteen, Dylan, and Donald Fagen thrown in. He has been hurt in love, and shows it, but he has a cool, playful, Village, quirky side too. Can't wait for his next CD, due soon. Sample lyric--"The thing you need the least, is the thing you want the most. . ."

Brotherly Love

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: At an age when most artists are compiling their drug-addled memoirs for VH-1's Behind the Music, my kid brother has finally released his first album. And what an album it is. An eclectic mix of song styles with only their beautiful melodies, exacto-knife lyrics, and Kenny's evocative voice in common. As one would expect from an artist with Kenny's wealth of experience, the production and sterling musicianship ( a crackerjack band including Shawn Pelton, Duke Levine and Larry Campbell and guest stars Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn, and Peter Wolf) serve to present these poignant and powerful songs in their best light. If I have a complaint, it is that the CD is almost steadfastly earnest. There are only rare displays of Kenny's playfulness and humor (although, unless you yourself are or know a digital amputee, we defy you to keep a straight face during the opening verse of "In My Recurring Dream" which, by the way, to these 2 biased ears, is the most exciting rock epic since Springsteen's "Rosalita"). But that should be My complaint, not yours. I'm his big brother. If You have a problem with this marvelous album, I guess you and I will just have to take it outside.
