Buy this CD by Jbdave (Jonesboro, GA)  5 Stars
April 21, 2008
If you like an eclectic blend of jazz, rock and funk then this is the CD you should buy. One of the best 'best of' albums ever produced. Stellar musicianship and expert composition. Most of the other reviews sum it up pretty well.

Allman brothers spinoff by Gary E. Mahoney  4 Stars
March 08, 2008
I tried this CD after becoming a fan of Chuck leavell. It is an interesting mix of Funk, latina, jazz, and rock. A great album overall though the various styles don't always blend.

"best of" rarely is. by Biff Baxter (california, usa)  2 Stars
November 30, 2007
my familiarity with sea level was limited to "on the edge," which i've had on vinyl for 27 years. i'd hoped to get it in cd but its not out in that format yet. i took a chance on the "best of" cd, and i have to say i'm disappointed. i loved sea level's instrumentals, and this compilation has too much vocals for my preference. furthermore, after one listen of "shake a leg", i cannot shake that refrain from my mind. don't misunderstand me, i love chuck leavell's work - with ABB, the stones,and his solo efforts. i hope sea level releases "on the edge" in cd format soon. in the meantime, i think i'll buy one of those new turntables and start burning my favorite old vinyl albums to cd format.

Terrific Southern Rock'in by Fred J. Klingenhagen (Winter Park, Florida) 4 Stars
January 31, 2007
The Best of Sea Level is an excellant collection of the band's southern rock and jazz fusion sound. Founded by Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers Band and now with the Stones) in the late 70's following a break up of ABB, the band's sound is a departure from Southern Rock and Roll, leaning more towards fusion jazz and Levell's fanastic piano and keyborad work. If you loved ABB's "Jessica" and "High Falls" you'll love Sea Level's sound.

Showing off their musicianship by Robert L. Holt (Baltimore) 5 Stars
August 21, 2006
I saw Sea Level at Constitution Hall back around the mid 70's. At one point, Chuck Levell stood up from the key board and played the grand piano like a harp! Amazing musicians ahead of their time.

Chuck Leavell (Performer)
Chuck Leavell admits to three passions: his family, his tree conservation, and his music. A bluesman to the core who's worked with the Allman Brothers Band, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Gov't Mule, the Georgia-based piano player touches the hearts of listeners here with solo performances of mostly original material. The title song pleases with Leavell's improvisations on blues sequences, his references to the history of blues piano tied together with an impressive craftsmanship. Genre-bender...

| No More Mr. Lucky
by Randall Bramblett
Nothing in Randall Bramblett's resumé (Southern rockers Sea Level, sideman to Steve Winwood) will prepare you for the brilliance of No More Mr. Lucky. In the tradition of great Southern writers like Faulkner and Harry Crews, Bramblett melds God, Man, and Nature in a manner that is simultaneously laid-back and intense--only a Southern writer could write a song called "Sunflower" without making it effete. Too, it is unlikely that a Yankee would come up with such an obvious explanation of the...
