Brian Culbertson Come On Up CD Review
One word describes the CD Come On Up from Brian Culbertson... AWESOME!
Refreshingly, Come On Up was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and listen to comfortably from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Come On Up has a nicely varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They?re all here.
The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn?t your favorite style you still can?t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.
Listen and I think you?ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Brian Culbertson's piano playing is simply in top form. Of particular note on this offering is his amazing rendition of Midnight with Marcus Miller and Steve Cole.
While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 ? Midnight, track 7 ? the Earth, Wind and Fire song from way back Serpentine Fire, and track 10 ? the title track Come On Up.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, Days Gone By. What a nice track!

Discover the Best CD Rates Using CD Ladders
Certificates of Deposit, also referred to as CDs, are thought by many people to be a highly stable way to invest your money. Many certificates of deposit are offered by reputable banks, and in the United States most CDs are insured in accordance with the requirements of the FDIC. Sounds good so far, but one of the least appealing qualities of CDs is that your funds are untouchable in the bank for a certain length of time, known as the "term". If a depositor attempts to withdraw their funds before the term is concluded, then they can be required to pay large penalties for the early withdrawal. While a person might be inclined to select shorter term CDs, often you will see 4 year or 5 year CDs (and sometimes longer) with the highest CD rates....
