LullabyPerformer Notes: Personnel: Lee Everton (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, piano, keyboards, bass synthesizer, percussion, drum programming, background vocals); Adrian Weyermann (guitar); Philippe Baden Powell (trombone); William White (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Fabian Brunner.Recording information: Sling and Stone Recording Studio, Zurich, DE.Lee Everton’s second album builds on the strengths of its predecessor, Inner Exile. It rides the roots reggae train less heavily, relying more on a folk/country-pop vibe. Said differently, the Jamaican influence remains a strong subcurrent throughout the album, but Everton introduces in his repertoire some Tom Waits (“Anywhere I Lay My Head”) and Bob Dylan (“If Not for You”), and some songs have a definitive Van Morrison feel to them. Sing a Song for Me is therefore either a lightweight, reggae-inspired record or a particularly sunny singer/songwriter record — and if both descriptions make you think of Cat Stevens, then so be it. This time again, the recordings are warm and analog-sounding. Acoustic and non-distorted electric guitars account for most of the arrangements over the bouncy and supple rhythm section, although the one hallmark of Sing a Song for Me is the organ (it sounds like a Hammond) that paints almost every track with delicate strokes of sunshine — it is also responsible for giving “I Want to Hold On” such a deep shade of Procol Harum. Highlights include “Don’t Make It Too Hard,” “You’ve Still Got a Hold on Me,” and “I Want to Hold On,” all lovely, uncomplicated songs. It could be argued that Everton isn’t reinventing anything, that what he sings about is nothing new (love, friendship, hope), but he does it with sincerity, talent, and a sense of balance that feels just right. ~ Franois CoutureFormat: CD (1 Disc); StereoStudio/Live: StudioRelease Date: 13 October, 2009Label: Rootdown RecordsDimensions: 12.75 x 14.33 x 0.91 centimeters (0.06 kg)
