    An eclectic and enjoyable mixture of pop, light rock, light country, and tinny, horn-happy soul, Velvet is almost compulsively cheery.

    I haven't stopped listening to this album since I got it 3 months ago- I know every note in every song, and I never tire of it. I haven't stopped listening to this album since I got it 3 months ago- I know every note in every song, and I never tire of it. It's an incredible production. I rank Shawn Mullins right up there with Little Feat and Jimi Jamison of Survivor- sheer brilliance.This album has prompted me to purchase 'Soul's Core', which is equally incredible.… Full Review »
