Brilliant.......2006-07-26

My wife and I saw Jesse open up for Jonathan Richman in Des Moines a couple years back. Quickly bought the album and immediately fell in love with it. Have stayed in love with it for hundreds of listens and thousands of hours. One of the best albums I've ever heard. Just bought "Sould Parade", and am counting the hours until it arrives...

Excellent.......2004-12-31

This is a great CD. This guy has talent. Love all songs especially Shangri-La West. Reminds me a little of Dylan, Springsteen, and a few other artists but he is unique. You won't regret this CD, buy it if your looking for something new.

Fresh and Groovy.......2003-07-19

I saw Jesse DeNatale at the recently renovated Cafe du Nord in San Francisco a few weeks ago. It was spine tingling. I couldn't get a few of the songs out of my head. I bought this CD and am listening to it right now. It's just one of those CDs you'll like hearing from the first time you play it.

Run Don't Walk.......2003-05-04

Musicians still write great songs, but few still make great albums. Jesse does both and Shangri-La West is one of those rare gems I've heard over the last ten years that never left my CD player once I hit play. I own hundreds of other CDs where I have no idea what exists beyond track five, but this one was memorized start to finish within a week. Previous comparisons to Dylan, early Springsteen, Van Morrison, Tom Waits, and other icons are no mistake, but also no substitute for Jesse's raw originality. The company of those iconic likenesses only help those who have already heard Jesse express with words the deep levels these songs reach musically. You just have to hear it. Somehow, he's already earned veteran status with just one album.

A brilliant album.......2003-05-03

If you're like me you've been feeling lately like the music scene has been utterly stale. There just hasn't been that much out there worth listening to that captures either your heart or your imagination. Well, this CD might very well restore your faith. Part rootsy growl, part sweet whisper, Jesse DeNatale's voice will stay in your head and his CD will stay in your player. His tales of love and loss casts a spell, evocative of such artists as Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Robbie Robertson and Van Morrison without being the least bit derivative. Personal favorites are "Riding Glove" and "Bohemian Ghosts." Check this CD out - you won't be sorry.
