O’s Notes: This is a cool vocal session from the opener “Get Your Way” that shifts to country/pop over the set as Jamie sings with a maturity that suggests far more experience than his age. The overall impact is a fresh sound that builds favorably on the listener with each track. We particularly liked “Photograph”. Cullum has a raspy, sometimes smoky baritone with a unique signature that sets him apart from the crowd.
