The Hidden Talent

This CD delivers the same awesome music by a relatively unknown band. I cannot get enough of this CD. The lyrical and melody content is outta control. How this music remains off the radar is beyond me!! Keep up the awesome work.

The Color Green's Rust, a well-crafted, very radio friendly blend of folksy guit
author: www.southofmainstream.com
Rust - THE COLOR GREEN OK. I feel like I often get on this very same soapbox, but I'm willing to do it again. I don't think there's any reason to cower in shame if you happen to like radio-friendly, mass media marketed bands. I'm right here, right now admitting I like Default and Lifehouse. And though other folks bash them mercilessly, I can and will admit that the girl from Evanescence has a beautiful voice, above and beyond any contempt her chosen genre seems to generate. Should we eviscerate a band simply because they gain mainstream popularity? I don't think so. Some kind of music has to make it to the mainstream market. Because I have a preference for indie music, do I have the right to make fun of, or look down on folks who like, listen to or create a more mainstream sound? Absolutely not. Having said that, I had a great time listening to The Color Green's Rust, a well-crafted, very radio friendly blend of folksy guitar and modern rock. Their sound is comfortable. Somewhere between Nickelback and The Counting Crows, with a healthy sprinkling of REM-style alt-country jangle added in for an extra friendly appeal. Unfortunately the CD case I received didn't have the front packaging, so I can't praise the lead singer by name. His voice is commanding, he sings in a mildly gruff, but always tuneful fashion. He conveys real emotion and he manages to use a repeated expletive as emphasis, instead of it sounding like he's swearing just because he feels he can ("You're No Mistake"). I listened to this disc several times, trying to find a reason, as an indie lover, to make a critical remark. But I really can't. It's a modern rock album, and doesn't make any bones about it. And the album stands on its merits. Well-crafted, well written rock songs, gentled with some very melodic guitar and made double alluring with straightforward, emotionally charged vocals. Favorites: #2 | The Fortunate Ones #9 | Everyone #10 | You're No Mistake Genre: Modern Rock/Americana
