James Judson’s debut album comes across the creative output of a seasoned pro. He clearly loves to make music, and he has impeccable taste in choosing his material.

The album features a variety of tracks—all of them impressive—from the playful opener “Is There A Chance,” to the atmospheric “The Shadow of Your Smile,” to the stylish “Stars Past the Milky Way,” to the free flowing “All Of Me,” to dreamlike “My Imagination,” to the endearing “Can’t Put a Price on Love,” to the tender “Kiss Me,” to the energizing “The Wonderful Night Before,” to the engaging “Eternal Love,” to the cozy “Holding On,” to the elegant  “Candlelight or Roses,” to the catchy “Walking a Sidewalk,” to the touching closer “On and On.”

This is one of those albums that if it were purchased on vinyl, you might as well buy two—you’re bound to wear out the grooves of the first quickly.

Choosing a video to include with this review was not an easy task. It was, however, quite enjoyable, as it allowed me to hear each of the tracks once more. I decided on the following, which perfectly conveys the warmth and dreamy quality of the album. Enjoy.
