A five star review is hard to come by, but so too is a great CD from an artist for whom success is overdue. According to Chris, this project took several attempts to find its current form. Though far from overproduced, perfectionism has paid off for Canty and roots rock fans, alike. A popular local artist in the Boston scene, Canty's blue-collar work ethic and heeful musings shine through with the intensity of a live performance. "Can't Always Go Home", a heartfelt reminder of infidelity’s cost, could keep more men at home than "Fatal Attraction." "Face of Love" has a driving beat and catchy guitar riffs. Its lyrics are as beguiling as they are introspective and well written. However, its best tracks are saved for almost the end. "Waiting on Love" is a haunting plea. Although its lyrics are dark, the track radio ready for fans of Springsteen, the Wallflowers, and Tom Petty. "Get Up, Get Out" is, by far, the most memorable cut. It's car commercial fun contrasts well against the disc's more somber reflections. With this stunning debut, Canty establishes himself as no ordinary artist. Don't be the last to own this extraordinary work by Boston's newest star.
