An Outstanding Album! Bravo! Reviewer: Craig Tigerman Some of my favorites from Rainbow Rider: Rainbow Rider. Guitar! And the grand piano -- excellent new motifs to introduce at this time. The feeling here is that of glorious ascension -- outstanding, soaring, joyful rising! The fact that such sensations can be induced by the music you are playing is in itself a sheer triumph of craftsmanship. "Love Like the Sun". The masterpiece. I can't say enough about this. A hint of Gregorian chant and a healthy dose of heaven. The alternate theme highlighted in this piece is superb, complementing the other main theme perfectly. The antiphonal structure of the theme adds a feeling of breathing in and breathing out..
Perfectly enjoyable musical journey Reviewer: Joseph T. Fegan This is my 3rd Sam Utah CD. It is the best yet, evidencing growth and confidence in its exceptional, soothing ride into relaxation and completeness. The artist's addition of vocals is a positive enhancement. The poetry is provocative and reminiscent of and an improvement over Rod McCuen of the 1970's. In short, I like and heartily recommend this CD to my friends.
I love, love this album Reviewer: Sue Granno Sam Utah's music is awesome! The albums are so inspirational and spiritual, everytime I hear them I am immediately transformed into a movie of some sort They are just the best. Rainbow Rider is rapidly becoming my favorite album.
Reviewer: L. Marshall A joy in listening. Relaxing, beautiful music. Could feel and sense the emotion in the music. Each piece builds on the previous one, and actually could feel that I was inside the rainbow. Love Like the Sun is exquisite, could feel the suns rays making everything pure. A magical, mystical piece of work.
An Album that Brightens the Day and more Reviewer: Joseph T. Fegan After listening to Symphony of Light I wrote these words: "Smooth, Sunday morning rays, sunlight touching the pine trees, beams of golden light painting the forest floor. Doe and fawn delicately sniffing the warming air, pausing, hearing Sam Utah fill his presence with soft, seductive melody. Nature’s harmony, all in balance." Joe - Clipper Mills, Ca
The Champagne of New Age Music Reviewer: Vicki M If it was a wine it would be champagne...a good champagne. It sparkles to the end and leaves you wanting more. I LOVE Sam Utah!
Relaxing, beautiful, resplendant sounds Reviewer: Louise Signori While traveling through the Sierra Nevada foothills, I listened to this beautiful piece of music. Each majestic view of hills and valleys was accompanied by the wonderful sounds of Sam Utah's majestic work. It was as if the music matched the twists and turns of the mountain road. Magical and wonderful, yet also relaxing and spiritual. Lovely piece of work here. Recommend it very highly.
Music of the heart and soul
Music in Blue and Pink is a gift from a gifted performer. I am so glad Sam took the time to record his music for us. It is perfect for reflection or just enjoying the beauty of nature and life itself. Reviewer: Joseph T Fegan
Blue Ribbon for Music in Blue and Pink Reviewer: Judy Erkanat This is indeed music for the soul. It soothes, refreshes and can help induce a serene, meditative state. The ethereal beauty of the cadences and riffs are a joy to be repeated. I highly recommend this ode to the spirit from one of today's most gifted newcomers to the music scene.
Completely Relaxing Reviewer: Geoff Cirullo Listening to this CD while stuck in Bay Area traffic, made the ride very relaxing. I was able to tune out being cut off, lane shared, and nearly rear ended. I plan on purchasing more of Sam's CD's as I believe they will help me keep things in focus. All I can say is Thanks Sam and please keep it up!
