One listen to the current single from Jay Scott Berry's excellent new album Keepsake, the Dave Loggins' classic Please Come to Boston is the perfect introduction to this fine album. This release is a collection of timeless songs including Bob Seger's Turn The Page, Solitary Man and Play Me (both massive hits for Neil Diamond), Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, Runaround Sue, Eric Clapton's heartfelt Wonderful Tonight, even the Leonard Cohen penned Hallelujah. All are brought to life with the combination of Jay's clear strong vocals and superb production by Charlie Chalmers who already has seven songs in the Grammy Hall of Fame. With this album, Jay had a very simple directive, "to capture an exquisite vocal and acoustic sound...just pure music." This has been captured brilliantly and Keepsake is set to bring the name of Jay Scott Berry to the attention of a growing legion of fans. - Album review by Daryl Kirkup - Capital News
