Customer Reviews Wonderful It is difficult to find a Cd with even two or three good tracks. Jimmy Lafave is amazing. . . Lafave scores every time. Austin Skyline Some years later I am still hooked on Austin Skyline. From the first few notes of the first Jimmy Lafave song I heard, I was hooked. One Angel is a sweet and tender song that exemplifies Lafave's plaintive voice and lyrical magic. The words aren't sophisticated, but they don't have to be. Songs aren't intellectual, they are written to feel. When Lafave sings "I have only one angel babe, my one angel is you. " you feel and believe. Lafave explores beyond the tender side with Desparate Men. Great hook, great melody, very well done. Who could ask for more? Lafave also does an excellent job of showcasing Bob Dylan's material. He always manages to breathe some new spark into Dylan tunes (not that they need it). Hiway 61 and Leopard Skin Pill Box Hat are a couple of fine examples of Lafave's take on some classic tunes that defy you to stand still. Lafave has a unique voice and his song selection is perfect for his style and vocal work. You can't go wrong with Jimmy Lafave. The newest album, blue nightfall has some fabulous tunes on it. But, for classic Jimmy Lafave, there is nothing like Austin Skyline. . Thank you Mr. Lafave If you get a chance - do not miss it. The only thing better than listening to a Jimmy Lafave CD is seeing him and his band live. This is his first Cd and it is a pure GEM. He has quickly became my favorite artist. A great voice, full of emotion and his rock n roll tunes are wonderful toe tappers. Buy this CD and you will be a fan for life. Wayne. .
