highly recommended

Last Days at the Lodge is Lee?s third record, following his first two critically-acclaimed and tremendously successful records, Supply and Demand (2006) and his 2005 self-titled debut. This 2008 record is produced by Don Was, and features Lee on guitars, Doyle Bramhall, Jr. (Eric Clapton) on guitar, Spooner Oldham (Neil Young, Aretha Franklin) on keys, Pino Palladino (The Who, D?Angelo) on bass, and James Gadson (Bill Withers) on drums, along with many others. 11 tracks.

Amos Lee's music brings tears to my eyes...

This ranks up there with his first cd...at least it's close behind. Amos Lee has so much talent; he writes his own songs, plays guitar beautifully and has a voice that reaches deep down inside me where few can go. His music comes from his heart and his soul. I sometimes feel that we must have met in another lifetime because his lyrics speak to me on a such a personal level.

EVERYONE should get Amos Lee's music! He is so deserving of a huge audience!

Amos Lee is someone to watch

Amos Lee is fabulous. He has the most soulful voice, great lyrics, a wonderful band, and is not bad to look at either!!
I recently saw him in concert at Workplay, and he was amazing. The entire audience was mesmerized. Every song on this CD, as well a his other releases, is either a 4 or a 5 star song. I have all his releases on my ipod, and have not found one song that I don't like.
Soulful, romantic, beautiful, lovely voice, and lovely man!

Amos Lee's latest release.....

Well, I went to the Amos Lee Show last night with my wife, here in Philadelphia and felt compelled to write a review of Last Days at the Lodge.

There are many gems on this LP and for the most part, singer songwriter fans will be happy with the purchase. "Listen" starts the LP out, giving fans what they know and love about Amos: smart, caring lyrics, tight vocals and a nice rhythmic jam. "What's Been Going On", another track with much airplay, will have you hitting the repeat button on your ipod over and over as well!

However, I need to mention there seems to be a few filler songs here too. Amos seems to have tried the Maxwell falsetto-RB-thing with songs like "Baby I want You." And although I applaud him for mixing it up, it just doesn't play up to his strengths as a singer. As with many singer songwriters, the record executives seem to push them for more material `while they're hot', often before they're ready (this I feel is the case also with Ray Lamontagne latest LP). Sometimes, it take years for a really good song to brew and that is why, first time fans would be happier with the LP Supply and Demand. Long time fans and music lover looking for something a little different will still enjoy Last Days at the Lodge. Oh and also, It is an absolute must to see Amos Lee live!

Agreed... good, but not his best.

This is a decent album. Especially after seeing him perform most of these songs live. However it falls a little short of his first two releases in that it just doesn't have the same vibe. After I saw him live performing many of the songs off this CD, I went out and got this record asap only to be a little bummed out in that it was much different that the live versions. I really appreciate Amos and his ability to transform a song to fit the mood of his audience in a live performance. In this case, I just wish he would have put that same vibe into the recorded version. But like I said, this is still a good record as you really can't miss with Amos. His vocals alone are worth the money and his amazing songwriting and composition are like getting a free bonus.

It's nice, but it's all been done before

On his new album Last Days at the Lodge, Amos Lee plays it all close to the chest. The melodies sound familiar, the lyrics sound familiar, and it all sounds like Lee is only half-interested in the songs he's singing. Many of the songs just sound tired and old hat. There are some exceptions, and his voice is still magnificent. I personally liked the songs Won't Let Me Go, and Kid, which is simple but inspiring. Overall, however, the album left me wanting more and missing his previous album, Supply and Demand.
