![Colbie Caillat - Coco [Digipak]](http://cdn.overstock.com/images/products/muze/music/986886.jpg)
- Artist:
- Mraz, Jason
- Description:
- Personnel includes: Jason Mraz (vocals, acoustic guitar); Michael Andrews (acoustic, electric & slide guitars, banjo, ukulele); John Alagia (electric guitar, Wurlitzer piano, Hammond B-3 organ, percussion); Alex McCallum (electric guitar); Greg Kurstin (electric piano, Clavinet, Fender Rhodes piano, organ, synthesizer); Shane Endsley (trumpet); Stewart Myers (bass); Brian Jones (drums); Toca Rivera (background vocals).
Although young Jason Mraz`s percussive acoustic guitar rhythms, tumbling verbiage, and funk/folk/jazz/pop concoctions may occasionally bear echoes of John Mayer and Dave Matthews, that`s only one part of a bigger musical story as realized on the singer-songwriter`s debut album WAITING FOR MY ROCKET TO COME. "Absolutely Zero," for instance, is a sophisticated, atmospheric ballad that bears echoes of Jeff Buckley and Coldplay. With its sunny horns, wah-wah guitar, and bouncy groove, "No Stopping Us" sounds like a lost `70s AM pop classic. "I`ll Do Anything" alternates a rock chorus with a percolating reggae feel on the verses. And while the aforementioned Mayer and Matthews are admittedly predisposed toward a somewhat mumbling vocal style, Mraz sports a strong, bright voice loaded with both range and personality, making it that much easier for him to glide from style to style throughout the album.

I love this CD. My 13 year old loves it just as much and we don't usually agree on music.

I assure you, you will love this one. But if you wanna be downright blown away, and experience the MRAZ in all his glory, get the new live DVD/CD combo "tonight, not again" What the heck, get them both. You'll thank me. In fact, you will be impatiently waiting for his next CD due out spring 2005!

It is unfair that I should be the first person to review this album. Everyone should be raving about the creative stylings and artistry of M-R-A-Z. This album is so versatile. You will love every schizophrenic, energetic, pop, evocative, soulful, spacey lyric this new-age Dave Matthews sings.
