Album Notes Recording information: 2006. SUPPLY AND DEMAND, the sophomore release from singer-songwriter Amos Lee, is smart, relaxed, introspective, and earnest, much like his self-titled debut. Lee's associations with Nora Jones extend into the musical realm, as both mine a laid-back, rootsy sound based on acoustic guitars, swelling keys, and simple grooves, accented by personal, carefully crafted lyrics. Lee's combination of folk, pop, and soul harks back to the early 1970s--the definitive era of singer-songwriters--yet there is enough heartfelt sincerity here to save things from a mere retro exercise. With its sharply detailed songcraft and Lee's smooth, soulful singing, SUPPLY AND DEMAND is another notch in this up-and-coming artist's belt.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- SUPPLY AND DEMAND has much to recommend it, from Lee's aching, soulful delivery to well-crafted material that combines thoughtful lyrics with memorable melodies. Mojo
He has a great bluesy name....and a warm soulful voice that lends itself nicely to his R&B-inflected folk pop. No Depression
Amos Lee has a distinctive, almost-smooth voice, which he combines with his thoroughly easygoing delivery and an intense commitment to his songs. Dirty Linen
He further showcases a preternatural ability to write a damn thoughtful tune and some undeniably winsome music when he wants to. CMJ
