MY DREAM kicks off this album with some great vocals as he goes off and does his own thing. I must admit, his reflections in this song reminds me a bit of New Radicals. Great song to kick off with. WISCONSIN BARS is really a treat as he takes off in a sweet jazzy rock country song that will surely grow on you. The lyrics are super great and the melody is right on the spot. I love it.
Crank it up. MY WALLS he slows down a bit as he sounds a bit like Ben Folds which is quite impressive. The melody and lyrics are great as the song flows along great. So sweet. A DISCLAIMER shows another side of Matt as he plays the mandolin in the song as he seems very comfortable singing this song. I can just picture him in the studio singing this song just floating away with it. What a superb song.
ONE FOR OSCAR is great as he shows a jazzy mode of him that will surprise everyone. This is how jazz should be played as you can feel just go into your bones and shake them up a bit. WOW! This song is MUST to hear for all the jazz lovers out there. I truly love it. THE WEEZER SONG brings this album to an end with rock vibes which is a great change to hear. I must admit, he sures a lot like them. Crank it up and have a party. Just goes to show he can play any type of music. So cool.I'd like to THANK MATT for being in touch. You can find him on: You tube, Facebook, Instagram, Soundcloud, TikTok, Apple Music and other sites. ROCK ON , JIM ALLLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
