notes

Walking by a dimly lit coffee shop in Fullerton, CA. I'm drawn to a man singing a soulful song. Who can express with simplicity a penetrating blend of spirituality and sensuality? Only the greats, and only the greats when God decides to help them. You know what I mean, like when God decided to help Van Morrison write his "Moondance" album or when God decided to help Joni Mitchell write her "Blue" album, or when God decided to forgive Bob Dylan and help him write "It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall" or "Like a Rolling Stone". You get the picture. God hasn't decided to help too many musicians recently but for some reason, God has decided to help Tyrone Wells. If you doubt me, listen to his "Carolina Blues", if you doubt me listen to his "Matthew", if you doubt me listen to his "Vegas or Bust" or his "Stronger" or his "Shade of Blue". In a world of emotions bombarded and jaded by sense numbing triviality and hearts and minds blunted by overexposure to the grossest of stimuli, somehow, Tyrone made it through with a clear channel to a heightened awareness that calls out to the rest of us that, yes, it's worth holding on to our souls.

Tyrone Wells' ability to punctuate honest, spirited lyrics with a soaring vocal versatility developed while producing eight years of national and international successes as the lead singer of So-Cal band Skypark. Wells' cool-headed stage presence seems to radiate with his love for people and his longtime passion for "music that matters". The California native ignites his newest songs-- stories ranging from solemn melodies of loss and trust to gritty, soulful grooves about dangerous dames-- with a voice that maximizes every melodic opportunity.
In his debut solo release, Tyrone's talent brought former Black Crows' guitarist Marc Ford on board as co-producer. Wells' self-titled independent release will be followed soon by a second album on the new True American Records.

    I first heard Tyrone's music on a MySpace page. I began looking for his music, ordered 2 of his CD's, and love every song on them both. I am in my thirties and have gotten my co-workers, in their early twenties, turned on to his music as well. AWESOME.

  • I absolutely love all three of the CDs I received by Tyrone Wells. Awesome arti

    I am so glad to be introduced to this awesome artist, Tyrone Wells. Great guitar and insightful lyrics. Thanks for sharing your talent!

  • Tyrone, dont you, dont you change a thing...
    author: Mandy

    His live show at the aforementioned cafe in fullerton is not only in one of the most intimate and intensely musical settings, but its full of a kind of passion for love, family, and God that has been extinct for so long i can hardly keep my composure at seeing it finally released once again through this man. His talent is so surprising, and he has a kind heart. On the way to a show, my friend front ended a guy in the parking lot and it left a huge dent in her car. When we told Tyrone what happened he dedicated "Seabreeze" to her for showing up to his show even though she got in an accident. This album is worth every penny.

  • yummy

    a tasty mix of honey-dipped voice delicately accentuated by soulful tunes - I can't get enough. MMMmmmmmm

  • Nice CD!
    author: Eddie Negrete

    This is a really nice album with great music! I love this songs!

  • Incredible CD!
    author: Kristin Hazen

    I saw Tyrone Wells sing at the "We Salute You" benefit a coworker of mine put on. I was able to bring a few of my friends and they agreed with me that the the best part of the show was Mr. Wells here. We all bought a CD at the show, sadly only having enough money on me to buy one, but I ordered the rest when I got home. I have to say nothing does justice to his live performance and his ability to make the crowd laugh, but his CDs are amazing and I would tell anyone to pick one up. He is a truly talented singer.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS
    author: Anne

    I saw Tyrone perform 2 years ago, and just HAD to buy his CD that night. I love all of his songs, the words and music are just so moving. This CD is in constant rotation in my CD player, I can never get sick of his songs.

  • author: Samantha

    This is the cd to own to complete your Tyrone Wells collection. I got the Live cd first then Snapshot and I had to have more so I picked this one up at one of his show's at Room 5. I went to see him at The Mint and he did "Russian Roulette" and I was blown away, the version on this cd is good, but the way he re-worked it for that show was amazing. Everyone should own this and Tyrone's other cd's.

  • This CD ROCKS!
    author: Laura

    This CD Rocks, it's amazing - I wish that everyone could hear how great it is!

  • awesome
    author: Sophie

    I had Snapshot and wanted more so I checked out this CD and decided to get it. I love the CD, it is everything I thought it would be.

  • Love it
    author: Julianne

    I think this and "Snapshot" are both cds that will be in my changer for a while. It is made with confidence that you don't usually find on a first album. A few songs really stand out--like California-- but they are all good.

  • Smooth...
    author: Lisa McKinney

    Beginning with the fabulous "Vegas or Bust", Tyrone Wells' artistry is readily apparent throughout this CD. His music comes from the heart, his lyrics are true to life, and his voice, as always, is beautiful and provoking. I love that he can blend his Christian beliefs with excellent songwriting and haunting melodies. What a gift!

  • A tasteful blend of smooth sounds and original expression
    author: Mike Grajeda

    Impressed once again. Without exaggeration I play this cd on continue play for at least 3 rounds. There are a couple tracks that stand out from the others but they are all good. Tyrone has a unique vocal style that is briliant and a flawless harmony.

  • Tranquillity At It's Best!!!
    author: Annette

    It is such a pleasure to hear real honest to God vocals. This Cd is a showcase of life. Kick back enjoy, reflect and relax.

  • Tyrone Wells lyrics, sounds and passion are a gift from God
    author: Jason Domitrovic

    I would like to pick a favorite song but its hard to when every song triggers your soul. The only problem about this CD is that mine has been stolen.

  • This CD Rocks!
    author: Nick McKern

    I listen to this CD when i fall asleep at night. The Guitar work is soo soothing. His voice is so effortless when he sings...plus, he's also my mom's cousin. Please support him!

    Tyrone Wells truly reveals life's beauty in his latest album Snapshot. This album isn't simply uplifting and soulful, but additionally romantic; the best part! God has gifted Tyrone with incredible talents and they are definitely utilized in the creation of this album. Basically, it's good stuff! Real good stuff!

    author: Lori

    Tyrone's "Always Faithful" is one of my all-time favorite songs. It gives me chills every time I hear it.

  • author: Maria Brown

    I was really moved by Tyrone's music. I first heard him at the HIU convo, and the staff and I listened to his music (CD) after convo. So talented, soulful. His voice, lyrics, it's just beautiful.

  • Great breakout CD!!!
    author: Courtney

    You must buy this cd!!!! It's so good. Tyrone has a way of singing right to your heart. Everything he's feeling, he makes you feel just as passionately. I could listen to "Home To Me" all day long!!! This should definitely be in your CD collection. Two Tumbs WAY up!

  • Sooo good
    author: Jen

    Tyrone's CD is amazing- one that will stay for the ages.

  • Made me love music again!
    author: RJKVideo

    Tyrone, please get your bus pass and get on the road. Your music was both inspiring and entertaining. Sounded like good advice from your granny, felt like church was finally jumping and was full of wisdom and insight like a smart sober friend.

  • Excellent!
    author: Monte

    What can I say? The storytelling, the singing, the playing .. it's all a pleasure to listen to. I've played and listened to various musical styles for most of my life, and this is the type of music that moves me the most. A truly excellent CD.

  • author: Dana

    Great CD from an undiscovered artist! I saw Tyrone sing in the LA area and bought 2 CD's. This one is my favorite so I bought two more to give away as gifts. My favorite songs are California, Home to Me, and Arms Around Me. He's a very talented guy! I also think his song Sea Breeze (on another album) could make it to the Top 40!

  • The boy has it.
    author: brotherbryan

    This is a work of art - the best music I have heared in a long time. Soulful, scintilant, salient. Like warm sunshine and warm rain. Real good medicine.

  • author: Raseny

    His lyrics are like rough up fairy tales when you find him singing about the woman he loves or are chasing after. His music all center around the the theme of love, when it comes to romance,family, and God. Overall I found his music different from all others because the cords are as powerful as his voice. He has an amazing voice to match the passion felt for his lyric and life,all I can say is I love this cd.

    This album is one of the greatest I have had the previledge to hear. I did not know who Tyrone Wells was until I saw him at a coffee shop in Fullerton and then at University Praise at Hope International University in Fullerton. His voice is tranquilizing and this album is truly from the heart. God truely spoke to this man's heart and he listened. This is a great album to put into the player and play when you want to relax. I would recommend this album to anyone. He is comparable to Jack Johnson.
