We Are All Born Lucky




Playin' On My Team

Listeners incontinently gush over PLAYIN' ON MY TEAM: psst! wanna buy Playin' On My Team? yeah ya do.

Playin' On My Team's harmonies blend with good spirits to remind me of what made The Turtles' music memorable. -- BILL STELLA, Highest Common Denominator

Contact Ringo Starr's management -- Jay's I Will Always Love You should be in his repertoire. -- BILL STELLA

Swept Away describes a swimming accident on a camping trip, and yields a nice goose-bumps moment when you realise that Spears is actually talking about something else: sex is a force of nature and it's bigger than us. -- ROBERT FARRAR, www.psychodrome.co.uk

"Playin'"s standout track is Drive Time: it brilliantly takes on the Hell that is heavy traffic. -- BILL STELLA

On Who Is This Guy? Spears allows himself to be a poet. The result is mature and authentic, reminiscent of Bob Dylan's Desire. -- ROBERT FARRAR

Hey Arnie lovingly rips off the banjo intro from Herman's Hermits' "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter", reviving its skiffle style. -- BILL STELLA

My Belinda is the heart-warming sound of a pouf and a dyke whining simultaneously, and in harmony. -- ROBERT FARRAR

I'm singing Sean, Sean EVERYWHERE and when people ask me what am I singing i just put my iPod in their face and say this is the song and this is the man. -- ERLIN, NY

Believe it or not, Jay and the guys pull off a version of My Boyfriend's Back that gives the Angels a run for their money. -- GEORGE

Jay Spears has a habit of infusing his tunes with a wink and a smile, such as in Cheapskate. -- GREGG SHAPIRO, Chicago Free Press

Smak Dem Christians Down: an instant gay lib classic. -- ROBERT FARRAR
If Jay Spears were taken from us tomorrow, the Bougainvillea Waltz would be his monument. It's a moment of madness, pleasure and vulnerability. -- ROBERT FARRAR
