Independent releases are a hit and miss proposition.
Such is the case with this gem of an album from Stewboss. On Wanted a Girl , the band is still deeply entrenched in their heroes and as such wears them a little too liberally on their sleeve. Yet these days, that can be said of countless major label releases as well, making this a moot point. The fact of the matter is, Stewboss quite boldly stamps out the lineage between the Rolling Stones and Counting Crows with pristine accuracy. Along the way, the group manages to traipse through a bit of Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Bruce Springsteen as well.
