Met A New Man
Tobias Jesso Jr.'s debut CD "Goon" has some strong moments. "How Could You Babe" has a catchy hook on this midtempo track's chorus that makes it spark with Tobias' vocals alternately hushed and soaring, "When I found out you'd gone & met a new man, I felt so lonely that I cried; How could you baby?" It's a great tear-in-your beer closer tailor-made for a last-call juke box. "Without You" is also a lovely heartbreak ballad with Jesso's airy vocals and plodding piano drawing us into a new empty routine, "I can hardly breathe without you; There is no future I want to see without you; I just don't know who I could be without you." While the CD suffers from a lack of variety of tempos and instrumentation, "Hollywood," "Crocodile Tears" and "Leaving Los Angeles" are also strong. This is a promising freshman set from this young singer-songwriter. Enjoy!

Really Pleasant CD
Wonderful album by this unknown singer. Saw him on TV and immediately ordered his CD from Amazon. Love his voice so much; and thelack of background musical distraction. Only piano and very minimal instrumental competing with his voice. Have played this in my carprobably twenty times..... so far!

Nice work, sir.
Not your average singer-songwriter. This could appeal equally to pop, top 40 and indie music lovers. Reminds me of Nilsson, Newman and . Rhodes.

Good piano with some acoustical guitar! A bit mellow for my taste, yet I kept it! Thanx!

nothing special as far as song writing and piano playing. It has a 70's feel.
