With the release of For Her Walter Beasley makes his much anticipated debut on the Heads Up record label. As the story goes the CDs title, For Her, comes as a result of the fact that when Walter first started making it he had just started seeing a new and special woman so it just made sense to him to call it "For Her". However at some point during the process of completing the project he broke up with "Her". Walter kept the title because he felt she was the emotional inspiration behind the album. At any rate this is a Very Smooth, Smooth Jazz CD. One of those CDs that goes great with a fireplace, your favorite bottle of wine and your significant other. The title track, For Her [track 2] and Don't Say Good Night [track 6] are tunes that will get anybody "in the mood". On Don't Say Goodnight, and Things Change [track 10] [...referring to the break up] Walter lends his vocal capabilities. Which come off silky smooth, just like his sax playing. Smooth Jazz, and Walter Beasley fans will enjoy the mix between soul and smooth jazz on this release. Overall this CD is a real pleasure to listen to as Walter certainly does not disappoint, and is in my opinion some of his best work. The standout tunes are Good Morning [track 4], Grace [track 8], and Let's Ride [track 9]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, Lost What Ya' Feelin?. Very nice!
