But like watching the flame-lit shadows in Plutonic cave, I was looking at specters of the true source of the form. Major labels are not where the populace of the kingdom of rock should be looking for quality music, Napster proves that. Each song an exploration. In this day and age where the commodity of music is becoming more marginalized, its nice to see bands like Mojosmoke on the event horizon of the black hole that is popular music. From the first track to the last, this CD rocks.
Every track has a unique and distinct groove to it.
Jonathan Moorehead shows off his talent as a singer and lyricist. His vocals are particularly soulful on When She Walks Out the Door . From the dirty guitar on I'm your Violin and Roll with the Punches to the clean and bright guitar work on Harmony Way , Dave Skoglund shows a broad range of textures and feeling. Solid writing and playing, on a well produced CD makes this an effective follow-up to 1998 s debut PULL , showing a band in transition into a major player on the modern rock scene. New Hampshire Review - Bill Sweet music to the ears.
