Description
If You Know What I Mean is an album by the American singer and songwriter Mo Leverett, independently released on Justice Road Productions in 1997. The album was recorded at The Mission in Nashville, Tennessee; except drums and percussion recorded at Neverland Studios in Nashville; with Phil Madeira producing. Mixed by Derri Daugherty at Neverland Studios, as well as at Studio At Mole End in Franklin, Tennessee. All songs written by Mo Leverett.
Featuring a session band consisting of producer Phil Madeira on keyboards, guitar, and mandolin, and a rhythm section consisting of Chris Donahue on bass and Steve Hindalong on drums, with Antoine Silverman sitting in on fiddle.
Accomplished musician, ordained Minister and founder of Rebirth International Ministry, American Mo Leverett presents a 13-track effort heavily influenced by his proud southern roots along with a musical insight of current local and historical observations. Blending sporadic light hearted lyricism with that of a more frank and sober nature provides a healthy contrast throughout the recording. The latter sentiment, felt strongest in the dark «Little White Lies», boldly depicts a tale of racial injustice, providing a glimpse of history through this artist’s bold writing style. Vocally Leverett peaks on the more powerful melodies in such songs as «The River» and the title track though also competently emotive when required. Timely instrumental break downs are scattered throughout. It is easy to find the caring heart which is the driving force behind the music from a gifted acoustic songsmith who’ll keep the ear attentive. [Aaron Ferris, Cross Rhythms, May 2007]
