I saw him on Austin City Limits, and couldn't wait to get his CD. And now I have all of them.
A great CD!

This is one of Amos Lee's best CD's. Its mellow, with a few pick me up songs included. I listened to this when I was on maternity leave and fell in love with this guy's voice. A true talent.

Elizabeth Essenfeld says: This CD is wonderful. Very soulful and soothing. I recommend it highly.

This CD is a nice effort, with some really good songs, and the same warm folk/blues/pop/ballad style that Amos seems to habit naturally. But IMHO it's not as good as his 1st record ... as it is often the case after such successful debuts.
Nevertheless, I am fan of Amos and am looking forward to hearing more from him. This guy has a style and a voice.

As with his first CD, Amos Lee didn't disappoint with his second offering, SUPPLY AND DEMAND. As a songwriter, he never falls short of perfection.
I look forward to the next CD.

This is probably one of the best CDs I've purchased during the past year. My kids love it too - I get a great kick out of listening to them sing at the tops of their lungs to "Shout Out Loud", while we are driving in the car. Maybe the exposure from the AT&T commercial (Sweat Pea) will bring more interest to his music. I hope so, because he deserves a large audience.

This is the first time ever I write a review for AMAZON. Which is kind of sad because I am a good costumer since 5 years, but the reason is that I can get real MP3 Songs via Amazon now. Good by iTunes with this slow and sad application and restriction to the songs. A song is a song and just to get the Amazon way successful I will by more here!
This particular song (Sweet Pea) I heard the first time on a AT&T Commercial and just loved it. I am a big fan of Jami Cullum and now of Amos Lee too!

I first heard of Amos Lee when he was on tour with Norah Jones about two or so years ago. After that I picked up his self-titled album, and I couldn't find a single thing wrong with it. And his second album Supply and Demand just keeps things moving in the right direction.

This album is a little more soulful than Amos' first album, but I'm not sure if I can call him a blue-eyed soul artist just quite yet. But it doesn't matter because there are plenty more great selections, one of which is the organ-driven "Skipping Stone". Also good are "Long Line of Pain", "Shout Out Loud" and the title track. The necessary political song "Freedom" also impresses.

Amos also has a clever way with lyrics, as shown by "Careless" and the interesting story, "Night Train". And if you're lucky enough to get your hands on the version of the album that includes "Lullabye" and "Truth", you should know that THOSE songs are great as well. Speaking of "Truth", though, the only reason I knocked half a star off my rating is because the song ends with a very off-key piano chord (sorry; I tried my best to overlook that).

But Supply and Demand is still an excellent album. I wish there really WAS more demand for Amos Lee, but it's not too late to discover him, so go pick it up.

I saw Amos live with Dylan ... and then bought the CD. Both are great.

I read several reviews before I picked this one up - primarily my interest peaked due to the Norah Jones comparisons, and of course the record label is Blue Note, which to date has not released a bad album (much like Peter Gabriel's Real World).

Guess what - this is EXACTLY like Norah Jones' music, but with a huskier Norah at the vocal end of things! Amos Lee is a great voice - like Norah he has that southern twang down pat, plus, like her, he is multiracial (Norah is Bengali-Indian/Texan). All these elements work on the music - this is folk-country but with a lullaby-ish quality to it - and that should remind you of Norah too.

This is Amos' second full-scale release, and I will be checking out his debut as well. This album reminded me immediately of Norah's third CD "Not too Late". In fact, many of the songs here, such as "Sympathize", "Freedom" and "Sweetpea" are very reminiscent of that CD.

Amos however has one thing that Norah does not, and that is versatility. I like how his songs tend to be very different from each other, and they don't blend into one another unrecognizably ("Southern Girl" for instance is toward the end of the CD, which is where the album actually outdoes itself). Norah tends to be a bit samey towards the end of her albums where one track is virtually indistinguishable from the next, but Amos side-steps this curse, which is why I think that despite being on the same record label, he is actually far more listenable than Norah Jones.

Obviously, this is a vastly underrated record. More people should know Amos Lee as track-for-track, this is a solid album from start to finish with not a weak melody to be found. If you like Norah, then yes, you will love this. But also check this out if you enjoy Cassandra Wilson and some early Dolly Parton. This albums' melodies reminds me a lot of the tunes that Dolly had on her 1976 album "All I Can Do".

This is a fabulous CD. I heard it first at a Spa and had to have it.

i am a big fan! i could never be disappointed by his music! great album!

This CD is one I cannot stop listening to. This young man offers a variety of styles, moods, and tones -- all done with seeming ease and fluidity. His lyrics are meaniningful, the melodies catchy, and the arrangements effective. I count this CD among my very favorites.

I enjoyed Amos Lee's debut album, but I have to say that Supply and Demand is a breath of fresh air. I love the versatility in that it seems to fit whatever mood I'm in at any point on any given day with the result being a more relaxed and chilled out me. My particular favorite is Southern Girl, which leaves you longing for a glass of iced tea, a warm evening, and someone to dance with. You will not be dissappointed in Supply and Demand.

I love this CD!!!Keep it playing in my car all the time. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is Amos Lee's second album, and it's really great. He reflects upon many different subjects on this album such as love, break ups, war, and life itself. On "Supply and Demand", Amos talks about needing a plan to find a better way to live. "Freedom" looks at war, and fights, and the idea that "Everything is a threat" in today's world. "Careless" talks of two men fighting over a woman.... And then both losing her.
This is a lively, beautiful album.

I have to be honest: I enjoyed his debut album so much I was half hoping Amos Lee would 'do a Norah Jones' and give us Amos Lee Part 2, or, in other words, more of the same.

But he hasn't. He's gone for a different producer this time around, leaving Lee Alexander for Barrie Maguire and thus, for a different sound.

He's turned it up in musical terms; his voice is bolder and whereas I always felt that he could've climbed on stage and performed the majority of the songs on "Amos Lee" armed with just his guitar, here he relies more on a full band. There are more background vocals here was well, though all performed by Lee himself.

Where I think he's turned things down a notch is on the angst, melancholy, the overall raw emotion he gave me on "Amos Lee". On that CD I felt a sense of identity and intimacy with the singer that I don't feel on this one. In fact where the first CD made me feel a range of emotions, this one makes me feel nothing. (Well, there was slight alarm at the totally unexpected mention of cocaine use on "Night Train" and one significant highlight was Lizz Wright popping up on background vocals on the anti-war song "Freedom" but that was about it).

That said, upon reflection I guess I have to hand it to the man for trying to progress and expand his sound. Most of what I've grown to like about Amos Lee (his voice, his songs) are all here and his personality still comes across pretty well. There's still good music here and it all makes for very pleasant, reflective listening. I'm still a fan. I just prefer his former CD to this one.

You know a musician is good when they sound better live than they do on the album. I bought this after seeing Amos play 'Supply & Demand' on Carson Daily. I thought the live version was better but its still a great song and the album is pretty good too. I think I like his first one better though. Amos Lee has the sweetest honey voice.

This is a wonderful CD. I am so thrilled to have been introduced to this artist.

One cannot categorize this CD into any genre. It crosses through many. It is a delight to hear. I've been listening to it daily for weeks. What a find!

I loved the first one. There is no one in American music today who has a voice exactly like his. He can sing jazz, blues, pop-rock, even a gospel hint at times. Being from Kentucky I particularly enjoy the track "Southern Girl", but truth be told I love them all. Great music for a slow drive to nowhere in particular.

I wasn't sure that I believed Amos Lee could make a sophmore album to compete with his debut. However, he has made a believer out of me. Poetic, haunting, yet with a bit more punch and playfulness, Supply and Demand is an elegant progression of a deeply soul-connected artist.

This album seems to be the consequence of going 'big'. His first C.D is AMAZING and is worth every penny and more. This C.D is dissapointing.

We first saw Amos before he released any major CD and he has just gotten better over the years. This second major release 4th overall (2 CDs are on CDbaby) is probably his best. With blues, R&B, country, and a little jazz mixed in it is hard to categorize his music. I prefer to just call it Americana. I think the music is really accessible and should hold a wide range of appeal.

Ah, how can I put into words the gift of this music. The first album I purchased was "Amos Lee" and I loved it! I just recently downloaded "Supply & Demand". When you love the first album, buying the second is always pure risk. Unless it is Amos Lee. The music and lyrics connect right to your soul. If you cannot remember what music offered before it was driven by supply & demand, let Amos Lee and his band remind you. True talent and passion. I could list until my ears bled. It will change you.

I first heard Amos Lee at The House of Blues in New Orleans in December 2006. When I heard the pure sound of his voice and the soulful lyrics, I knew I had to have this cd! Of course, I am truly a southern girl, so my favorite song on the album is Southern Girl! But, every song on this album is worth listening to over and over and over again. This is a cd that I absolutely can't live without. You will feel the same after one listen!

After listening to this albuum it made me want to go see his concert, which I did....He is a great artist not a preformer...Both his albums are
excellent....I will buy the next one when and if it comes out...Thanks...

This CD is my initiation into Amos Lee. It is so soothing but not at all sappy. Listeneing to his voice and his lyrics I am completely immersed and transported. A few of the songs have a sprinkling of country flavor. Forgiveable. Great CD.

Without a doubt one of the best albums of 2006. Incredible sophmore release.

This is such a great cd! When you listen you can feel the music, and that voice... wow!!! Amos Lee has turned into one of those artists that I seem to be telling all of my friends about, convincing them that their lives won't be complete unless they check him out. And this cd is no exception! If you get a chance and are able I would highly recommend watching the 2 videos that are posted on amazon (right below the image of the cd).

He seems to have lost the sweet edge he had with the first album. His voice has changed, seems a little more rough and ragged and these songs don't engage my interest nearly as much. This is still good but I don't play it nearly as often as his previous effort.

Was waiting for the release of this CD and I was not disappointed. Amos put together another great CD. He is definitely an up and coming artist -can't wait for the next CD.

I am very pleased with the overall sound of this CD.
unlike most CD's I purchase, i truly enjoy this one. The music is pleasant and soulful. I enjoy every song on this recording, and don't find myself skipping past songs.
The instumental has a very clear tonal quality, without the distortion in many modern band.
I like to listen to this while surfing the net, or just relaxing.
This is not a R&B CD, it is more soul with a modern twist.

I saw Amos as an opening act and thought he sounded great. Love his eclectic style. This CD will not disappoint! Great voice and soulful lyrics.

I first saw Amos Lee when he opened for Norah Jones. He is very entertaining....to say the least. Highly recommended that you see him play in person. His music just flows. This is one of only a few CD's that you just keep playing over and over because the entire thing, just like his first release, is great.
