Real Time Records Review

Valentine: Walkin' Shoes
11 song CD: Sunset Music
By Jessica

    This guy has a lot of credits and accomplishments, from performance
to sound tracks to software. The music is a smoothly blended sound
rich with originality but sounding like a handful of other artists. From
Steely Dan to Michael Sambello to Glen Frey, the resemblance's
and perhaps influences are there. The catchiness of most of it  is pure
and stands on its own. Solid song structure, unflappable delivery and
beeline arranging, says veteran all the way. Characteristic of most of
the late 80s to early 90s TV soundtrack stuff, the artist roots are
showing above the soil. So much of this CD sounds so familiar I must
have heard his work before. Perhaps somewhere in the soundtrack of
my own life!
