Horace Silver, very talented Pop artist has released him latest CD titled United States Of Mind and Wow! It's good. I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with United States Of Mind. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish. These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs. Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Horace Silver is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this CD. While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 6 - disc 1 - Permit Me To Introduce You To Yourself, track 9 - disc 2 - How Much Does Matter Really Matter, and track 14 - disc 2 - Summary My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - That Healin’ Feelin’.
