Sean Sullivan's voice is seductively gentle. He's a singer-songwriter who surrounded himself with fine session musicians for tracks that are variously jazzy or bluesy or roots-oriented or just smooth without ever challenging the listener or harshing your buzz. A good choice for a palate cleanser or when you want to slow things down and soothe jangled nerves. Nice tenor sax by Seamus Blake on #5, Don't Get Me Started.
