Produced by Hank Linderman. Sunny-breezy-roots-pop! Reviews and more info to come... Last time out, Larson totally bowled me over with the gorgeous Sepia, one of my favorite albums of 2004 so with Swimming In The Make Believe, Larson may have actually surpassed himself! Light in tone it may be but Larson’s thoughtful excursions into soft rock laced with subtle modern pop beats, intriguing arrangements, fluid guitars and those heavenly harmonies make Swimming In The Make Believe a thoroughly delightful experience. -- Kevin Matthews (Pop Culture Press / Bucketfull of Brains-UK) Jeff Larson is the sound of California pop, conjuring the wisp of a summer's eve, the light breeze of an affecting melody, the warmth of the sun sliding across a clear, cloudless day. Larson continues to be a marvel, raising the bar with each new release. With the heartfelt Swimming in the Make Believe, he has surpassed even himself, waxing a dozen gorgeous songs unmatched in their beauty... The players, from producer Hank Lindeman, who contributes various guitar parts, to Beckley's America partner Dewey Bunnell and Chicago's Robert Lamm help bring these songs to glorious life, but it is Larson who makes them shine in the warm California sun.
