“Inamorata” by Guy Fletcher

So, in Toronto, I acquired a copy of Guy Fletcher’s album, “Inamorata”.

I should say that I’m not a music critic. I know nothing about criticizing music (for good or bad) however I do know what I like. And I loved—not liked, loved—this album.

Well, where do I start.

First, I didn’t realize how good his voice is until I listened to this album. So far I only heard Guy doing backing vocals for Mark’s music. This guy has some great, great voice.

This is the perfect album to listen to in hot summer nights, sitting on your porch with a glass of white wine (or, better off, some Canadian ice wine). Alternatively, sitting inside in front of the fireplace. Listening to this record, you quickly forget about whatever happened to you during the day, as aggravating as it might have been.

The album starts with “Love is Coming ‘Round”, a beautiful piece. Other highlights in this album is “Inamorata”, “Broken Wing” (loved it) and my favourite, “Cold Water”, which can be heard in the venues right before the show. That is not to say that the other songs are not as good; they are. You can hear some beautifully crafted music there, a result of (what I believe is) some amazing production work.

Whoever of you reading the Dr.’s forums, may get the impression that the Dr. may sometimes be a little harsh. The image that appears when you listen to this album is completely different. You find a laid‐back guy who has some really good and positive perspective on life.

Excellent album. I am very happy to own a copy of it. Duly added to my “favourite albums” collection.

Later,
