Leave the Light On
Jeff Bates' sophomore album, Leave the Light On, is really about: not hiding. Bates' sensuously seductive, passionately romantic (and, lest we forget, charmingly witty) second album is a suite of songs about the good things that happen when human beings open up to each other, and see one another for who they truly are. It's about keeping no secrets and telling no lies, especially when it comes to love. It's about keeping the emotional lights on, so we can see one another's hearts.
