This new release "Begin Again" is a stunning collection of americana songs and don't be fooled by its stripped down sound. Each song is a story in itself with well crafted details and thought provoking lyrics. If he is in your town..don't miss him - M.D. Schaeffer
When I saw this on my desk I was intrigued by the cover and after one listening I am called back to the early days of Springsteen, Dylan and a little Johnny Cash. Very intense and insightful writing. He is not breaking any new ground musically but he makes up for this with lyrical presence and a powerful delivery. This is one of those hidden gems that I am pleased to discover. I would love to hear a band behind these songs but even in this format the songs stand on their own...and then some. You can read other music reviews each thursday in the Herald. - Stan Hillary
