{"product_id":"simple-things-1","title":"Simple Things - 8129","description":"Amazon.com\n\nGenuinely moving at times, a bit sentimental at others, pianist Jim Brickman's seventh career release is ultimately a worthwhile, satisfying package. Adhering to the simplicity theme, Brickman front-loads the disc with 10 melodic, nonvocal tracks (a gracious nod to longtime fans), then tacks on a trio of vocal selections. Even instrumental hard-liners, though, should indulge in the disc's fetching title track. Penned with Beth Neilsen Chapman and sung sweetly by fresh country talent Rebecca Lynn Howard), it's a sparkling reaffirmation of Brickman's substantial pop songwriting skills. Those looking for deeper rewards will find them on \"The Promise,\" a beautiful, reflective work that ranks among Brickman's finest compositions: the spare orchestrations (random violin, guitar, electronics) in the first nine pieces that focus the disc's emotional directness on Brickman's piano; the urbane grooves that energize \"Serenade.\" Occasionally (\"Catching Twilight,\" \"Gate 41\"), Brickman takes aim at easier emotional targets, playing more notes (with more force) than seems necessary, plus the heart-clutching \"A Mother's Day\" seems out of place here. But these are minor blemishes. Overall, it's an engaging recording. --Terry Wood\n\nProduct description\n\nJim Brickman ~ Simple Things\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005NDUQ\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GGV.B00005NDUQ.LN\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Like New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jim Brickman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Recycle4","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49689741984042,"sku":"GGV.B00005NDUQ.LN","price":10.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/0819\/9210\/files\/skuimage_227c28d2-f133-4e19-9362-78f3adcbcd6f.jpg?v=1733859107","url":"https:\/\/recycle4.com\/products\/simple-things-1","provider":"Recycle4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
