notes

From twenty years on the road with the likes of Steven Wright, Robin Williams, Bonnie Raitt and Nicolette Larson, James Lee chose ten of his favorite songs performed live and produced them with the likes of Timothy B Schmit, Ken Lyon, Rob Kyle, Rita Coolidge, Jim Ehinger, Michael Johnson.
The result is a timeless recording that has garnered airplay on jazz, pop and folk stations since it's release ten years ago. This is a newly remastered version with Don't Go Talking To Strangers recorded. A must hear.

    author: Annette

    Mr. James Lee Stanley is a terrific musician, songwriter and vocalist. This Ripe four Distraction CD is quite a find! I'm am only disappointed that it took me so long to discover it! Give a listen and you will fall in love with it, too.

  • Music That Lasts
    author: Rob Couch

    Strightforward pop magic from 1990. The songs in this album are among Mr Stanley's most durable, 4-5 of which remain part of his live sets to this day. I'll shut up now and give you a chance to buy this wonderful piece of work.

  • Terrific CD
    author: Folkfan46

    This is the album that introduced me to the phenomenal talents of Mr. James Lee Stanley. When I first heard songs like "Touch Like Magic", "Everyday", and "All I Ever Wanted" I was stunned by how well this man sings and writes. Then I heard "My My (Chiaroscuro)". Wow. This is probably one of the best songs ever written. Buy this CD!
