Reviews: Sometimes I Wake Up Naked

SCALA NEWS Review: Jan/Feb 2003

"There’s much strength and diversity in this CD. This is mature, reflective and intelligent contemporary folk music. You’ll find passion, compassion, depth and insights into the human condition in these disturbed times. Jim Lesses may indeed sometimes wake up naked. We should all be glad that he wakes up and writes such fine songs."

dB Magazine Review: November 2002

"It's taken quite a while for Jim Lesses to release his debut CD. He has been involved in Adelaide's folk music community for a few decades now in various ways including the Folk Federation and SCALA, and all that time he has been writing and occasionally performing his own songs. Then recently, the time felt right to commit them to the recording process, a number of guests were brought in to flesh the arrangements out and this CD is the result."

inFOLKus Review: October 2002

"No-one I know works harder at his craft than Jim Lesses. He’s been an inspiration to many people for his single-minded determination to improve steadily as a songwriter and performer – practicing in his living room with a broomstick for a dummy microphone stand, setting up his website, toiling assiduously at his lyrics and promoting himself as far and wide as any human can. This CD brings it all together."
