PERFECTVILLE kicks off this album with a sweet 2 chord guitar sound as the song progresses into a great melody with its distorted guitar sound. The melody and lyrics are superb and can easily get into your head. Great song.
SMILES LIKE THE SUN reminds me a bit of John Mellencamp song as this song has many reflections of the type of song he would sing. This is a very impressive song, check it out. REDNECK GRACELAND has a bit of a '60's sound which is supercool to hear. This song is high energy that will have you rockin' throughout the song. Time to rock your socks off.
TRAIN WHISTLE CRY is a great song with hooks flying everywhere. The melody and lyrics are quite superb as you can really get into this song. I must admit, I really like the tempo of this song as it has a punkish feel to it. I love it.
KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES is high paced and it sounds a bit like The Plimsouls which is pretty cool. The punk sound really comes through on this song. Nice. HARD LUCK TOWN has an intro that sounds like a slow paced Sweet Jane song.Then it kicks in more like a Stones song with all the favors THis song goes through a few stages which is quite interesting. This album is truly a hidden gem. I want to Thank Doug Geer for being in touch. You can find him at: You tube, Apple Music, Spotify. Pandora and other sites. ROCK ON.
