4 out of 5 stars Saw him once...instant fan.......2006-06-29

The only reason I give this a 4 instead of a 5, is because it just doens't catch what Jon is like live. I had the opportunity to see him live in Nashville at 12th and Porter and it was an amazing show. He truly brings energy and life to the stage that instantly catches you and holds your attention till the final song. I struggle to see how this record is someone "dying to get on radio." In all actuality, it is a shame that there is no real genre for Jon's music to fit into to get him more listeners. Reguardless, if you are into soul/funk/country music, this is the record for you. He really gives you that down home soul feal with his unique voice and the organ/wurlitzer sound infused throughout this record. Definately worth a listen.

4 out of 5 stars Fly on to this easy listerning album.......2006-05-04

I recently saw Jon Nicholson playing live as a support act to 3 Doors Down and really liked the music. So I got the promotional copy there and then, that Jon signed. On listerning to the album, at first I preferred the live version but I have gotten into the way the tracks have been produced and enjoy it at high volume! Grandma being my ultimate favourite on the album. I kind of agree with other views that it is easy to listen to but what's wrong with that, it just means you can enjoy it faster. Just try it for yourself and at what some sellers are selling it for, why not?!

2 out of 5 stars Perspective.......2006-01-07

I would hate for any potential buyer of this CD to be swept up in the unbelievably positive reviews left here by folks who I can't help but think are friends of Jon Nicholson. Generally, this album is a fairly competent, though wholly unoriginal and uninspired collection of songs trying desperately to get on the radio. So, if that is your thing, then go for it. You'll love this album. But if you are searching for something with innovation and original artistry (not to mention great listening), you should keep looking.
That said, the music laid down here does occasionally hit a nice groove. But, it's rare, and you'd do better to buy an old classic than use your budgeted CD money here.

5 out of 5 stars TRUE MUSIC WITHOUT PREJUDICE.......2005-12-30

Jon Nicholson just blows me away. I love the whole concept of the Muzik Mafia, I love all the members, and I love the idea of "music without prejudice" as Big Kenny of Big & Rich says. The night I discovered Jon he was winning over a crowd of cowboy-hat-wearing Big & Rich fans with his very un-country music. It was amazing to see them dancing along, cheering on Max on the Sax & then singing along in a big Muzik Mafia jam session. I listen to this CD over & over again & it never gets old. I think all these 5 star reviews speak for themselves, so put this CD on your MUST HAVE list!

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest CD Ever!.......2005-12-26

A Lil Sump'm Sump'm is the best CD that I own. Jon Nicholson knows great music and he put it on this one CD. The music along with Jon's one of kind vocals is mixed well. The CD offers an eclectic blend of music. Jon along with New Nation band mates, Max (on Sax) Abrams, Elijah (D.D.) Holt on percussion, Jerry Navarro on bass, and Sean Smith on guitar bring music to life on this CD!
*Just A Man is an upbeat song that'll have you singing along and bobbing your head to. It's a song about a man and a woman and their relationship.
*Love Is Alright, my favorite song on the CD, is a great upbeat song. This song would've been a huge hit at Woodstock! The lyrics are great. The song will have you singing and groovin' along to from the beginning. Jon's voice is just awesome in this song!
*Rock & Roll is upbeat. It'll have you bobbing your head and singing along to. You'll be amazed at the sax solo in this song!
*Grass River is a song you'll sing along to. Jon tells a story with his lyrics. It's one of those songs that you can just sit back and relax too, and yet still bob your head along to the tune.
*If you love the saxophone, you'll love "7 Days." Max (on Sax) Abrams does an awesome job on this song. This upbeat tune will make you want to bounce along to the tune!
*Take Me Back is another tune you can kick back to. With a good message, "...the time that you've got, you can never get back. Don't throw it all away, save a little for someday..."
*Hero is a song that Jon bares it all. It's a song with a message of not blowing off your dreams. The vocals are pure and strong. This song is definitely one of his best, with a nice sax solo as well!
*Stereo is an upbeat fun song. One the listener can identify with and groove along to as well.
*How Would I Know is a song about making it in this life. It's upbeat and well written.
*The song Nothing is slowed down which puts the listener in a relaxed mood. The lyrics are strong and sung with a lot of emotion.
*Grandma comes off as a funny song, but if you listen to the lyrics behind the fact that Grandma is getting stoned, then you'll hear a message behind them.
I strongly recommend this CD to everyone, no matter what genre you love, there is a little Sump'm Sump'm for everyone on this CD! Pick one, or two, up if you haven't already!
