[.ca] Let It Shine: An Album By

Amazon.ca:
Like any good troubadour with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, Jeremy Fisher likes to wander. In fact, to support his music, Fisher has done no less than three national tours, venturing across Canada on his bicycle. If that seems like a gimmick, truth is, this Vancouver Island singer doesn't actually need one. Fisher is a genuine, uber-charming storyteller, his song "High School" a perfect example: "I'm in a band, we kinda suck but we don't know it yet/and I don't care anyway/'Cause soon I'm gonna sell these drums, pay my rent, support my kid/and tell him all about way back in daddy's day." The disc's highlight proves to be the title track. "Let It Shine" mixes up the feeling of Dylan's "Subterranian Homesick Blues" with its jubilant traditional gospel namesake; yet another prominent moment comes during the engaging "Living On The Moon", a duet featuring Be Good Tanyas co-frontperson Sam Parton that is climaxed by her Emmylou-inspired beauty and fragility. It's easy these days to forget the importance and value of storytelling in song, but once in awhile, a musician's lyrics can transcend trite-ness and take you on a journey; that is exactly the kind of songwriter Jeremy Fisher is. Signed to a five-record deal, there is a hope and a sense that he will continue to grow and find further honesty and depth, allowing him the time to develop from a really good songwriter into a truly great one. --Denise Sheppard

An Excellent Album:
Jeremy Fisher's new album LET IT SHINE, is one of the best Canadian Albums I have heard in years. Jeremy's soulful voice and resounding lyrics, echo an early Bob Dylan, but with a lot more zeal. Once the masses find out about this guy, he is going to be a huge star. I have been listening to the album for a week straight. Its real good.

Let It Shine!:
Jeremy Fisher is one of the best canadian artists ever, he`s music is real, pure and just awesome! This cd got it all, fast up-beat songs and slower mellow songs. All the songs are written by Jeremy which is cool because alot of artists out there don`t write their own stuff. This is true Canadian talent! The Songs: Lemon Meringue Pie... 8/10 Sucker Punch... 8/10 High School...(1st single) 10/10 Shooting Star (In Spite Of It All)... 10/10 On Par... 7.5/10 Fall For Anything... 10/10 Singing On The Sidewalk... 10/10 Drunk On Your Tears... 10/10 Living On The Moon... 9/10 Let It Shine... 10/10 Just Friends...7/10 great music!, the best album I bought this year so far. Keep it up Jeremy!
