From the Title cut - Don’t Like the Sun; A northwesterner’s answer to California Dreaming, to the big sound of Fine Wine; How many grape varietals can you recognize? His sardonic wit is delightful in Hell on Wheels and Bug in the Soup. Dalton exposes his tender underbelly in Diamond Dew and Down this Road. With guest musicians Brian Butler (Brian Butler Blues Band) and Steff Kayser, Kurt Bauman and Peggy Sullivan (Smoke Creek, Smelter Rats).
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
OK, so I'm prejudiced. I know Ron and have always loved his stuff. But honestly, this album blew my socks off. Clever lyrics and unexpected twists of melody are woven into songs ranging from blues rock to tender ballads. There's a wide range of textures in the music built from creative use of multi instruments and rhythms, all woven together with a unity of style. The end result is not only listenable but rich with discovery as you listen to it again and again. Marvelous!!!!!! Read more...
