"...the traditional rolling feel of train music and urban folk.."

Mark Twain said that, "the difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug." This is an album for those looking for up-and-coming audio lightning. The album varies greatly over the course of the songs, but judging by what's on it, we'll be hearing a lot more about this musician.
The album has spark. While it doesn't have the feel of a completely finished work, that may be because it isn't meant to- and in places, that's magic. It catches perfectly the grin and the vibrant, friendly ease of what we would like the music scene to be in our hometown, without the distraction of being a 'live' album. He really finds his voice best for the album's title song, "McKinsley Steel," and the first song, "Settle Down," both of which convey the traditional rolling feel of train music and urban folk with the optimism of modern alternative.
I found a couple of the songs frustrating because they didn't capture enough of that, but then, that's probably a good sign: It means that this artist actually has a unique voice that I was listening for. It's worth a listen, and it's definitely an album for the listeners who are looking for the bright new artists out there.
