With age comes growth (most of the time), and Anthony Rankin's third official release is a clear demonstration of this adage. 2007's 'The Distance' finds him unlocking the artistic voice he set out to uncover four years prior, on debut 'Every Part of Me.' A quick sample of any earlier material will easily identify the cornerstones upon which Rankin's music is built: hook-filled arrangements, towering musicianship, and an honest and pliable voice wrapped around broad-but-passionate lyrics. These characteristics are refined, amplified and epitomized throughout 'The Distance.'
The range of the album is also quite significant; there are, of course, the anthemic pop rock gems that have helped define Rankin's early sound, but there are unexpected pieces as well, that explore the worlds of soul, Americana, and even employ elements of electronica. While that sounds like a sonic mind job, Anthony somehow manages to blend all of these ingredients into a seamless experience.
Of his early work, 'The Distance' is certainly Rankin's best; a vastly alluring listen for music fans of all persuasions.

This young multi-instrumentalist gives Jon Bon Jovi (and even Prince) a run for their money - remember his name!
