Talented former British army man James Blunt has released his debut CD on the Atlantic recording label, entitled Bedlam.

This surely isn't something we'd expect from a guy who was a part of the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo, rode horseback for the Queen and watched over the Queen Mother as she lay in state.

Back to Bedlam is a pleasantly varied, mellow mix of 10 very well written songs by this superb new artist. Most of which display a lot of raw emotion. Drawing from his own personal experience, he sings great songs of love, heartbreak, pain, relationships and unattainable romance.

The CD launches with a great track, High, that will definitely be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so.

Overall Bedlam is an outstanding release. I give it two thumbs up.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are High [track 1], Wisemen [track 3], and So Long Jimmy [track 7]. My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 2, You're Beautiful. Very nice!
