I recently attended a Jeffrey Gaines performance at the Crossroads in Garwood, NJ. While I've heard of Mr. Gaines before, I did not know his music or anything about him, I decided to check him out. Needless to say, I was impressed enough to purchase "Live" after the show.Gaines has a awesome, soulful voice that compliments his introspective songwriting. He appreciates his audience and he enjoys playing for them. Listing to this CD in my car, I got chills from songs like "I Know a Man"; smart ,but not vague songwriting, with no pretense.After the show, Jeffrey signed my CD and I thanked him for being an admitted, unabashed KISS & Cheap Trick (Two of my favorite bands!)growing up as many of his peers would not be so forthcoming. He shook my hand and said "That's great stuff!".A nice person and talent performer. Glad to be a new fan.Join me in adding his back catalog to our collections!
