"Captivated Heart" by Douglas Closson is a peaceful adult contemporary album with a little romance sprinkled in from time to time. There are many elements that make up the sound of this album. You'll hear a little country, a little blues, a little adult contemporary, and a little island sound, as Douglas' warm voice lends itself well to a variety of styles. The production on the CD is very simple and clean, allowing some beautiful acoustic guitar work to come through. The overall sound on the CD is very tranquil and relaxing. Highlights are "Into the NIght," a sea chantey that starts the album off letting you know that you are in for a treat. It is catchy and well put together. "Touch Me Woman" is a beautiful love song with great guitar work, a strong vocal performance and nice harmonies. The title track "Captivated Heart" is an inspiring duet that wraps up the concept of the album. You'll like this one if you enjoy adult contemporary artists such as James Taylor and Dan Fogelberg.
