It's like hearing heaven

"A master of meditative music, Chappell creates an exquite montage of landscapes made from instrumentals alone. There are gentle tunes reminding you of dusk, of taking long rides home on a lone highway, of finding back long-lost friends. Chappell's music resembles home-made memoirs that you want to keep with you each time you need to be comforted, touched or simply recollect how your inner journey has been. These songs will bring you home, to a place where you've always wanted to belong, that which only your heart will know...and understand...A masterpiece :)"

Wonderful, just wonderful

"My wife brought this CD home and I thought, UH-oh... ANOTHER "touch-feely-warm-fuzzy-'my karma ran over my dogma'" kind of thing. I was wrong. Like all the other reviewers have noted, this music WILL cool you out after an angst-ridden day at the saltmine or after battling roadragers. And I do not mean this sarcastically, but, honestly, it's better than a...um...'controlled substance' (of your choice) to (please excuse the sixties verbiage here) 'mellow you out.' Brian Eno once said that this kind of music has to be as ignorable as listenable, and he's right, but when the silence gets to be TOO deafening, listen to 'Nightsongs and Lullabies.' It's better than Prozac."

This has always been my favorite Jim Chappell CD

"I have all of Jim Chappell's CDs and they're all wonderful--but this has always been my favorite. You literally feel your body relaxing and sinking deeper into the chair when you start to play it. And it's really cool how, after a particularly productive day at work, listening to "A Job Well Done" makes you feel even prouder about what you did :-)."
