"Much
like his brother (and longtime music collaborator) Jason
has been doing over the past year or so, this local acoustic
guitarist and singer is
rapidly recasting himself as a convincing frontman for a
full, electric C&W
Band, and as a budding country songwriter, to boot. The
current lineup of
his backing group reads like a who's who of some of the
area's most
experienced and tasteful players, and their latest demo
stands out as one of
the most commercially viable and in-the-pocket recordings
of any local
country bar band that I've ever heard. All the elements
which make for
shiny,radio-friendly honky-tonk are firmly in place: tinkly,
FLOYD
CRAMER-esque piano runs, flashy pedal steel licks that chirp
and flutter in
the background like a tipsy whippoorwill, solid timekeeping,
and the
occasional red- hot slide guitar line."
