"Levi Ware - Level Yourself"
This is the first solo effort for Guitarist and singer Levi Ware from Mount Vernon, Washington. The album is a mixture of rock, pop and modern folk, add the Nashville location of the production/recording sessions and you get this superb work called "Level Yourself" .
Level Yourself is a template of rural American rock and folk. A mix of old and new, a promising sound full of intense colour.
Backed by a big talented crew of musicians, engineered by Neal Cappellino (Shane Theriot, Mindy Smith & Sinéad O'Connor) and produced by Jon Blackstone,with additional production fom Neal Cappellino and Levi Ware, the album takes off with foot-clapper Riches and grows on and on including some ghost tracks towards the end.
The title track Level Yourself is a positive pick, blossoming into a suite of uplifting compositions that express a vastness of musical talent.
