Rick Braun is one of my favorite smooth jazz artist and I think you will enjoy this album from him. It has been out for awhile but the music is as fresh today as when I first got it several years back.My wife and I recently had the pleasure of seeing Rick with Richard Elliot on the R&R tour and that was a real treat. It takes an exceptional musician to keep up with Richard on sax and Rick was able to do it.
“Yours Truly” is a great mix of 9 tracks and all of them are very good. I especially like “Holding Back the Years” and “Groove is in the Heart”.
At one time in my life I made my living playing jazz music. Although, was never good enough to even think of making it big time. Guys like Rick Braun who play with such SOUL take music to an emotional high that can't be "manufactured" by wanna be musicians. The fact is that he has it. He could play anything at all and the soul would come through. I heard the Shining Star cut off this album on the radio and almost had to pull the car over. I really love the way he plays with such understatement. And, I especially appreciate the fact that he is not trying to perform the mindless jazz gymnastics that so many tasteless wanna be's try to do. This is great music played by an outstanding musician. – Steve Branch
