Boney James “Sweet Thing” Smooth Jazz Music CD Review

Richly talented Smooth Jazz artist Boney James has released his latest album titled Sweet Thing and Wow! It's good.

Sweet Thing grabs your attention right from the very first note with East Bay and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song It's All Good, which by the way is another great track.

Sweet Thing has a pleasantly varied, mix of 10 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen.

If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Sweet Thing is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2, Nothin' But Love, track 3, Words, and track 9, Ivory Coast.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, It's All Good. What a nice track!
