""FOLD" REVIEW"

Two notes and you're hooked. Neil Jackson's voice intertwining with the edgy, yet melodic guitar riffs of 'Fold' reel the listener in from the very beginning of the song. The powerful, raspy vocals delivering heartfelt, meaningful lyrics insure that you feel the incredible passion of the artist while leaving ample room for the listener's own interpretation. This song is definitely acoustic rock at it's finest.

""FOLD" REVIEW"

Evocative, emotional, Neil Jackson delivers
edgey acoustic rock that packs a punch. His song "Fold", a passionate introspective on a relationship, grabs you from the start and you can't help but want to listen to it over and over again. One thing is for certain, this guy has mad skills. This is a must to check out!

"Steel Standing And Rock"

Last night, I graced Amos's Southend with my presence at the Steel Standing show. It was actually the first time I've been to Amos's, and after not being able to find the door and, once I found the door, I made it inside with Adam in tow and met the band that has so generously contributed multiple songs to our movie "Bird In A Glass House."

The opening act, Erika Blatnik, was quite a lyricist. I was impressed. Poetry to some fascinating, complex finger picking. I half expected her to speak with a scottish accent.

Then the band takes the stage, colored lights catching the swirls of smoke from cigarettes, turning it red, blue, yellow. The drummer Chris Goodman pounds out a couple beats and away they go.

Folks, these guys rock. They really do. In the genuinely passionate fashion of early rock and roll. Lead guitarist and vocalist Neil Jackson rips lead as fluidly as any guitarist signed to a major label. Recognize. And what about the moment when he and bassist Jeff "JD" Dunegan rip a lick in unison...several times. Again, recognize.

The band growls and the music is raw. The growl I partially attribute to JD's chording his bass so Neil can fly through lead. In the absence of a rhythm guitarist, someone must carry while Neil shines. It's a strategy that works remarkably well.

And finally my attention is drawn back again to Chris's rhythm, rolling the cymbals in ways you don't hear everyday and raising one stick in the middle of song. A salute to the gods of rock.

To anyone who reads this, go add Steel Standing as your friend. Go to their next show. Buy their CD.

Show me that there are those who steel stand and rock!
