Review of the Roger Smith CD Just Enough

Roger Smith has released his latest CD entitled Just Enough.

It 's a rare day indeed that I have a CD from an artist that I can honestly say that it has a bad track in the series to get. I am more than happy to announce that's exactly what I have to say about this. There simply is not bad in the crowd. No fillers here at all, with each song, heads held high by itself.

Roger Smith has the ability to be able to win with him talent alone. The nature of theThe artists I'm listening.

Overall, Just Enough is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few plays the songs are just etched in your memory. A must for jazz fans. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - I'll Always Love You, Track 11 - Just Another Day and Track 13 - Friday

My Bonus Pick, and the one that has Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 -Rough Cut. It 's a great track!
