I know that I'll catch a lot of flack for this, but being a long time BNL fan, I couldn't resist grabbing Steven Page's solo effort The Vanity Project. Wow. Lots of wow. All the lush vocals without the silliness. It really is a must have, in my opinion. I love the man's voice, and it is so well displayed on this recording. Great, great stuff. :thumb:

I had no idea he had a solo project in the works; I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!
I remember hearing a great quote about his voice from Maie Pauts on 102.1 The Edge here in Toronto. "He could sing the phonebook, and it would sound beautiful."

I really like that quote, and it's very dead on. I imagine the phonebook would sound beautiful in his hands. Just as an fyi, you can download a flac version off <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.barenakedladies.com">www.barenakedladies.com</a><!-- w --> or regular old mp3. Either way, instant gratification!

A BNL show is a guranteed good time, I don't care what anybody says. I've been a BNL fan since back in the day when they used to wish for a
hundred dollars!
I appreciate the heads-up & I'm grabbin' the FLACs as we...er, uh...I type. Page is truly an amazing vocalist; live and in the studio. If I was certain of the spelling, I'd even say he's an 'impressario'. (sp?)
I'm looking forward to several listens.

Hey Jenna,
Who was the disc produced by. I know that Page was a huge Stephen Duffy (ex Duran Duran) fan and had the opportunity to work with him in the past. Was it him?

It really is excellent. As I mentioned before, none of the silly stuff BNL indulges in on occassion...simply beautiful song writing. :thumb:
