I know almost nothing about this rocker, what his story is, what genre he adheres most to, etc. I came to this album a blank slate and came away thinking, "It's a banger of an opener followed by some filler." After another listen, though, I realized that dismissal was harsh and unfair. There are definitely some other strong spots on the album, and it's solid musically. I don't have much to say about it. It's a rock album, performed by a guy who does rock music. I vacillated between giving it three or four stars and settled on three; the high points don't fully justify the fifty minute length. Favorite tracks: "Always a Friend," "Sister Lost Soul," "Chip 'N' Tony."
