Lost And Found CD review - Muzikus magazine 

3/2010

Prague singer and musician Jan Vytasek is one of the somewhat latent promising talents of the local pop-rock scene. Jan commands a fairly charismatic voice and his songs, founded on the most traditional sources of the seventies and eighties at times with an added touch of an american country music, overflow with a seldom heard melodic potential.

Highlights: Shine Through The Night, The Day When I Met You

Sounds like: Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Bryan Adams

Jan Vytasek - Lost and Found

by Jenny Delamotte

 


 

It was with some trepidation I opened this cd for review.  The artists' credentials state him as an artist most recognized in Prague in the Czech Republic.  But I sat at my task with as open a mind as I could muster, and believe it or not I am really glad I picked it.

Mr.  Vytasek certainly surprises with his vocals.  There is definitely no country twang, yet he is not refined enough on most tracks to be considered indie.  The beginning tracks have a bubble gum pop feel to them, with a voice reminiscent of David Cassidy with talent.  (No offense to Mr.  Cassidy intended) Vytasek can hold a note, and there is definitely something worth listening to here.  Throw a little Hootie in the mix (yes, Hootie), and you may have some slim idea of what you are in for.

It kind of feels like he is striving to be popular on the early tracks, the lyrics are not particularly memorable although they make for pleasant listening.  However the longer you listen you come to appreciate that he has a love for music, and it comes through in his voice.  Particularly enjoyable is 'Summer Blues', his attitude shines, you can hear his appreciation for the greats like Stevie Ray Vaughan. 

Most impressive is that he wrote all the tracks, and that he plays the acoustic and electric guitars, along with the piano, harmonica, strings, and oboe.  His arrangements are flawless and very well thought out.  In reading his biography it is clear that he is well known and accomplished overseas.  His earlier works are covers of mainstream artists from throughout the years.  This album makes it clear, though, he is capable of making it on his own.

Make sure to listen to the last tracks, the ones he sings in his native tongue.  I think those are the ones that give you a true appreciation for what he is, an artist that definitely deserves some attention.
