BILL DEASY: Good Day No Rain

Bill Deasy

Good Day No Rain

© 2003 Bound To Be Records (634479446825)

CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.

He calls to mind Paul Westerberg and many of the finest rock songwriters who mix poetry and drunken bluster, yet somehow sound macho and sensitive at the same time. A cross between Matthew Sweet and Michael Penn-style smart pop and flat-out rock.

-----------------
ARTIST BIO.:

Bill Deasy has established himself as one of the musical mainstays of his native Pittsburgh, but his music has also touched the hearts and imaginations of fans as far as Japan and Germany. He has played as an opening act for such artists as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patty Griffin, Norah Jones and John Mellencamp.

If you ever attended a Pittsburgh Pirates or Steelers game, you may have seen him performing the National Anthem. His songs have been recorded by an interesting array of artists such as Martina McBride, Kim Richey, Howard Jones, Bijou Phillips, Michael Stanley and The Clarks. Deasy has also appeared, singing his own song "Good Things Are Happening," in a national television campaign for Good Morning America.

What ties all of these things together is, that at the center of everything, Bill Deasy is a songwriter with a lyrical and uniquely introspective point of view. "When I write songs," says Deasy, "I try to take my life experience and put it out there in a way that people can relate to. I feel like I've done my job if a song resonates with other people; if it connects with them in some way." Still, Deasy sounds just as comfortable singing a lighthearted pop song as he does a heart wrenching ballad or emotionally charged narrative.

The new album "Good Day No Rain" is truly a testament to this. From the beginning number, the lilting and ironic "I Want To Know" and all the way to the finale, the beautiful and powerful "The Gift of Seeing Through", the album takes us on a musical and lyrical journey, looking at relationships from many different angles and perspectives. Contemplation, reflection, evaluation, resignation and re-assurance - things that all of us go through. The album is a culmination of work done over the last year, which began by bringing him to New York to work with producer Gregg Wattenberg (Eve 6, Five For Fighting, Dishwalla). "Good Day No Rain" also represents a personal journey for former Gathering Field frontman Deasy, as he embarks into the world of solo recording artist.
---------------
All Music Guide Review 12/03

The former lead singer of Gathering Field, Pittsburgh native Bill Deasy has been through the major-label wringer, and has emerged with his second solo record, Good Day No Rain, on his own Bound to Be label. Sounding like a folkier Matthew Sweet, Deasy has a world-weary voice, and his lyrics have the feel of a wise and wounded romantic walking in a rainstorm. That's not bad, mind you, when you can do it as well as this guy does. With huge hooks, songs like "It's All Right There," the orchestrated "Blue Sky Grey," and the funky shuffle of "In My Head" all demonstrate the hand of a skillful writer adept at hitching a sincere, soul-searching tone to easily infectious melodies. Sensitive singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but really good ones are a rarity. Bill Deasy is the real deal. In a perfect world, you'd already know this.

  • If only the labels would listen!!!!!
    author: Leann-Bethel Park, PA

    I own many of Bill Deasy's CD's, but this is by far his greatest accomplishment. I can listen to this over and over again without ever getting tired of the songs. Keep it up Bill you are an awesome singer with such an extrodinary voice. Can't wait to get "Thomas Jefferson's Aeroplane, The Invisible Ocean". I am sure I will not be disappointed. Thanks Bill for sharing your talent with all of us. Keep it up.

  • Absolute Classic!!!
    author: neil (Blackpool, UK)

    This has lived in my CD multi-changer since it's release... so as you can tell i'm not really one for writing reviews, but this is an absolute classic - right up there with The Gathering Field's Lost In America. Favourite tracks: all of them, they are all great. The album even ends strongly, and the 7min 45sec closing track, The Gift of Seeing Through, is amazing. On this album Bill Deasy proves he is one of the best singer-songwriters in America. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Buy this. You won't regret it. (...and then go & check out Michael McDermott...)

  • Favorite
    author: Chris

    Okay, so I'm a few years late writing this review but better late than never! Got Bill's new one the other day and wound up having a Deasy listening marathon. Newest one The Miles is pretty good and so is Chasing Down A Spark but this one is still my favorite. 4 years later and it sounds like it could have come out in 2007. Good Day No Rain is a great addition to your Deasy or Gathering Field collection and if you've never heard him, this record is a good place to start finding out what you have been missing.

  • TERRIFIC!!!!
    author: Joann from "The Burgh"

    Bill's song writing seems to get better and better, if that is possible. While listeneing to his music, you hear a song and think, wow, this is a great song, and then the next one is even better. Thats how this cd is. It's terrific!! Thanks Bill!!!

  • The cover looked cool but finished second to the music.
    author: James

    I originally clicked on the album because I thought the cover looked cool. Three years and around 40 spins later and it still sounds as fresh as when I pulled it out of the package. Blue Sky Grey, In My Head and The Gift of Seeing Thru are some of the stand out tracks. If you’re a fan of Jim Cuddy from Canadian act Blue Rodeo you’ll likely be a fan of Bill Deasy.

  • FANTASTIC!
    author: Margie from the UK

    Bill Deasy is fantastic, full stop! I got Good Day No Rain and his latest, Chasing Down a Spark as a gift and they are BOTH great. As my friend promised, Bill Deasy is an artist very much worth checking out and he was right! I look forward to getting his other albums but in the meantime I shall enjoy both of these -- VERY MUCH! It's hard to pick a favourite song because there are too many tied for first place. Bill Deasy is just a FANTASTIC singer songwriter.

  • Great Performer!
    author: Shawn

    This is a great CD and so is his newest one, Chasing Down a Spark. Saw him in Cleveland last night and he was amazing! Can't wait until he comes back in May! If he's playing near you, check him out! You won't be sorry.

  • LOVE THE CD!
    author: Sandy

    LOVE THE CD. GREAT MUSIC!

  • Rocking!!!
    author: Jones Fowler

    A dream come true for music hungery TGF fans. More rocking than mellow. For fans of TGF's mellow stuff seek chasing down a spark. Bill has one of the coolest voices out there!

  • Great Show at Steel City!
    author: Rob M.

    Loved your show at Steel City in Phoenixville and love this CD! You REALLY knocked us out! Keep up the good work and please come back to Philly soon!

  • So Glad I Discovered You!!!!
    author: Rachel Morgan

    This CD is soooo good! I saw Bill Deasy play in LA and was so impressed I bought the CD on the spot and then came here to get one for a friend, who is now a fan too! I also just got your "Drain Tapes Volume 1" which brought back great memories of your solo show at Hotel Cafe. I love that one too and can't wait to get more music from you. Please come back to LA soon!

  • The Labels are idiots to pass you up....
    author: Christine Donovan

    Hey, I love his music....LOVE Blue Sky Grey....I can't believe the ageism .... the labels are idiots...but I believe that talent like this will endure....labels come and go...but talent like Bill's is the real thing. Keep going Bill....don't ever stop .... you really have the gift.

  • Listening to Good Day No Rain really hits home
    author: JB

    Bill writes and sings with heartfelt sincerity that only someone who is down to earth and easily approachable can. Good Day No Rain is filled with genuine, acoustic tunes that leave you spellbound both lyrically and musically. "Blue Sky Grey" and "Prisoner" delve into feelings we all know- It's like braile for a listener because when you feel it you hear it. Enjoy-

  • Saw him live in Cleveland and was so impressed!
    author: Melanie

    Was in Cleveland for Michael Stanley and Bill opened for him. I loved his voice and his music so much that I got on the website the next day and ordered 2 of his CD's, one for me and one for my friend that went with me that night. I just love his music and am planning on seeing him again soon again in Cleveland. His mellow, folk-type style is so awesome...

  • author: CD Baby

    There are not enough words to put across the rushing sensation of this non-stop, pure to the bone Americana power poprock but we can sure try. Clean, hearty and gritty, it comes with a cowboy hat (if you want it to), it spits a few spurts of tobacco, it screeches out of the gravel driveway, stirring up a cloud of dust and speeds out onto the sun-baked asphalt but it's more sturdy than Country and is, thankfully, void of nasal twang. He's been the opening act for such artists as Bob Dylan, Patty Griffin, Norah Jones and John Mellencamp; he's had his songs recorded by an array of artists such as Martina McBride, Kim Richey, Howard Jones, Bijou Phillips, Michael Stanley and others. Need we say more?

  • The World Should Know About Bill Deasy
    author: Marty

    I've had this CD since it first came out. It was on repeat play for MONTHS but as all my CDs eventually do, it got tabled for a while as newer releases made their way into my CD changer. Well, I went back to it today and had to come here and write a review. First of all, just hearing it today it is like BRAND NEW AGAIN! It's like I was listening for the first time, except I knew all the songs. Still sounds as fresh as ever -- this is an AMAZING CD from an AMAZING artist. An IMPORTANT artist. It made me kind of mad though. This CD is better than 90% of what's out there. What the hell is wrong with the music industry?? He is one of the most gifted singer-songwriters I've ever heard. I know there have been many comparisons in these reviews, but the truth is that I can't even think of one person to compare him to. There might be different elements in his work that you can compare to other artists, but HE is totally unique. Like I said up top, the world should know about Bill Deasy. Shame on you if you don't.

  • Love It!!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Deb

    I had never really heard of Bill Deasy until I saw him as an opening act for one of my other favorite artists. I can say I was hooked immediately. Bought the disc, and it has been in my car for over a year now. Not a single bad song on the disc. BUY IT NOW !!!!

  • i have always loved bill deasy's music for the last 15 years...... so this cd is
    author: nancy

    love it!!!!!!!!!!! my favorites?? who we are, blue sky grey and the gift of seeing through, the last two reminiscent of his original work on self titled gathering field cd........bill can't produce anything less than phenominal music :):)

  • LUCKY ME!!!
    author: Marti

    You look for good music because you're SICK of what the radio is trying to shove down your throat. Okay, sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not. This is absolutely one of those cases where taking a chance paid off BIG time! Read some of the articles on his site and it's the all too typical "artist used to be on a big label" story. When I hear a CD like this it makes me wonder just WHAT the heck is wrong with the music industry. Shouldn't have taken me so long to discover this guy but thanks to CD Baby and not to the stupid major label machine, I did. Better late than never, that's for sure! 5 stars and a big thumbs up from a new fan in Illinois!

  • author: Bo Jordan

    This CD has been stuck in my car since it first arrived, and it's at the top of the best new stuff I've heard in the past year. Seriously, if you are a fan of Lost in America Gathering Field stuff, you must have this... Bill's in awesome form, the songs are very strong. If you aren't familiar with his old band, no matter. Buy it now. Or do like I did and buy two, one for a friend. I guarantee they'll appreciate it.

  • Honest... Emotional... Amazing!
    author: Chris

    I was filling out one of those stupid chain "get to know your friends" e-mails the other day and came across a question that asked what inspires me. I immediately thought of this CD and the lyrics to several of its songs. "Spring Lies Waiting" was an amazing cd and this one picks up right where it left off only "Good Day" has grown and so has Bill. It's honest, emotional, and amazing!

  • Sensational!
    author: Leo R McCafferty

    One of those rare CDs that captures every emotion possible. Every song is great and the music/lyrics get better and better with each listen. Normally, a cd remains in my car's player for a couple of weeks but this has been in since it's release date--outlasting Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, And yes even the Bruce (the Boss). My advice: Buy it.

  • WOW!!
    author: Todd K

    WOW!! Unbelievable! Amazing. I cant listen to this CD enough. Bill is the best songwriter I have ever listened to.

  • Seriously Great...From Beginning To End
    author: Alex Barton

    Bill Deasy is one of the most talented singer-songwriters I've heard for a VERY long time. Very strong songs, both melodically and lyrically and I just LOVE his voice! I had the good fortune to see him open for Kim Richey in D.C. and look forward to seeing him in the area again.

  • As Familiar and HONEST as an old friend
    author: Bruce Lomet (CHINASKI)

    The songs on Good Day No Rain feel as familiar and honest as an old friend. Deasy's penchant for the tragic is nicely balanced with an upbeat mood and a healing sense of spirituality. In the end, you get the satisfying sense that it's all going to end up okay--- hope still surrounds us, whether or not we can see it during bleak times. Deasy truly does have a way of bringing his poetry to life. This CD will not leave your player for a very long time. Every song has its own "hook" and will keep you listening from beginning to end.

  • It's About Time!
    author: Jason B.

    I was thrilled to see the review in Performing Songwriter Magazine. It's about TIME that Bill Deasy was recognized in more national publications! I've had this CD in my CD changer since it was first released. If you really like great singer-songwriters who can rock AND make move you emotionally, put this one in your shopping cart. You won't be sorry. More people should know about this guy.

  • Great CD!
    author: Meghan

    I love the CD... the lyrics are very moving. Bill Deasy is a very talened musician. I hope to hear more from him in the future.

  • Great Album
    author: Rossi

    Pick this album up to explore the complexities and simplicities of relationships and life

  • WOW!!!!!! I Love Ya Bill!!! You read my mind.Thank You!!
    author: jen frankovich

    I first heard the song prisoner on WDVE one night,and fell in love with it. The song was everything I am going through right now. Then I got the cd and WOW!! What a work of art. I am so impressed.Thank You Bill for making a light at the end of the tunnel with your beautiful music.I would suggest this cd to everyone.

  • It Has The Unique Execellence I've Come Expect From Bill Deasy
    author: Julia King

    It Has The Unique Execellence I've Come Expect From Bill Deasy. His lulaby voice and deep lyrics awe and inspire me every time Good Day No Rain was a good compelation. I also suggest Spring Lies Waiting, For the romantic. Thanks for soothing me. -JULIA KING-19

  • There are not enough words to put across the rushing sensation of this album
    author: Tamara Turner, CD Baby

    There are not enough words to put across the rushing sensation of this non-stop, pure to the bone Americana power poprock but we can sure try. Clean, hearty and gritty, it comes with a cowboy hat (if you want it to), it spits a few spurts of tobacco, it screeches out of the gravel driveway, stirring up a cloud of dust and speeds out onto the sun-baked asphalt but it's more sturdy than Country and is, thankfully, void of nasal twang.

  • Play over and over in your head . . .
    author: Kris

    Blue Sky Grey is my favorite--it's fresh and unique . . . one of those that you play over and over in your head. Bill's well-earned "debut" on Good Morning America was so easy to listen to and so America . . . and it earned my initial listen. I am not disappointed. Wish he was closer to the West Coast . . .

  • 10 Reasons Why I Love This CD...
    author: Laura G.

    10 great songs! I feel so lucky to have discovered this artist and have since discovered I'm not alone by reading all these passionate reviews. It took one time hearing "Blue Sky Grey" on the radio - called the station to find out who this amazing, warm voice was. You know how you sometimes hear something on the radio, feel compelled to buy the album and then are disappointed? This is NOT one of those cases. I really can't say enough about Bill Deasy. The truth is, no words can more appropriately express his music than his very own! One or two listens and you'll be hooked too. Count me in as a new fan - and a very happy one!

  • Just Fabulous
    author: Sheila Confer

    Bill Deasy makes me proud to be from the Pittsburgh area. So talented, so comfortable, so good. Thanks Bill! PS - He's great live too!

  • Ok, let’s get it out straight away. What we have here is the best CD of 2003 so
    author: Pär Winberg

    Ok, let’s get it out straight away. What we have here is the best CD of 2003 so far. It might well be the best CD of the year when we sum the year up later in December. It’s so damn good that I’m totally stunned. Thrilled. Chocked. Use any superlatives you want and they’re all worthy Bill’s album. Imagine a voice somewhere between Jude Cole, Neal Casal, John Mayer and Shawn Mullins and music in the same style. But there are also much more straight ahead classic melodic Midwest rock a’la Del Amitri and Brett Walker in some songs. Thoughtful lyrics, dynamic arrangements and FANTASTIC song-writing. Add a superb production signed Gregg Wattenberg (Dishwalla, Five For Fighting) and we’re quite ahead of what we have on the album. It’s amazingly good. And it’s an independent release! As I said, I’m stunned. Let’s get over to the songs then… The opening 20 minutes is an appetizer of what we’re gonna get, and after 5 songs I’m thrilled over it, but it just goes on and on, and gets better all through! And the grand finale “The Gift Of Seeing Through” is actually one of the best songs I have heard in the genre… ever… It’s as good as “Driving With The Breaks On” with Del Amitri and the best stuff from Jude Cole’s album “View From A 3rd Street”. When the song gets the climax around 5 minutes into the song I even take words like "best ever" in my mouth. And then the damn song just continues and ends up after 7 minutes and 30 seconds of magic!!! Well, I could mention all songs on here cause there is not a single bad second on the album, but I won’t do that. What I will though is to DEMAND all of you guys to buy yourself a copy today. Right now when I write this review I’m at song number seven for the third time today and that refrain is so ridiculous good that I just wanna get the man a big wet kiss on the mouth. And then track number eight is coming… “Who We Are” that is nothing less than a killer tune all through… Marvellous folks. Marvellous.

  • New Sounds-So Good
    author: Denise Gray

    Bill Deasy’s new, harder rocking sound (showcased on GOOD DAY, NO RAIN) is a musical revelation that actually enhances what has always been pure Deasy. The ramped up beats, intensified backtrack, and fresh vamps challenge Deasy’s voice to rise to new heights, which it does beautifully! The resulting sound is strong and clear with heightened nuances in vocal note work elicited by the supporting sound. The often upbeat music combined with the moody lyrics of many songs give a great ironic (and just plain fun) twist to the work. It communicates an unpretentious sense of humor that has never come through so clearly before. It feels as if Deasy is letting us in on the joke. Where pure folk seems at times to dwell, GOOD DAY NO RAIN seems to wink. It is as if it is saying, "Okay, I'll show you the pain and the hope and the love, 'cause all those things are real, but I'm also going to show you that I see both sides...the having of the emotion and the view of myself from the outside while I'm having the emotion." In this journey to inward truths, GOOD DAY NO RAIN taps the universal to share many truths that resonate.

  • Beautifully written
    author: Lauren Aljoe

    One of the few CDs out today that can be listened to non-stop. No need for skipping songs. The lyrics are throughtful and compliment the instrumentals. Definitely worth it!

  • author: David Matafka

    I had moved from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg and introduced my new friends and co-workers to Bill's music. They all loved it. I was waiting for something new from Bill and I have to admit, the wait was worth it. Good Day No Rain is the soulful, emotional, life-experience expressions all music fans wish they had the talent to express. Love it! Thanks Bill. Come visit Harrisburg sometime!!

  • Superb!!!
    author: Paul

    This album is a lesson to people in the art of how to be a singer-songwriter. Heartfelt, Inventive and very inspiring to listen to...... Top man Bill. I just wish that you could receive more recognition and ultimately come to England and play a gig!

  • Bill Deasy's best disc and that's saying something
    author: thursdays

    Good Day No Rain is the finest record of Bill Deasy's career. A record that gets better with each listen. Excellent songwriting, great playing and the best cd artwork of the year. I would compare it to Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky or the Pretender. It is simply that good. Lately I have been listening to new discs by Dan Bern, Jesse Malin, Tom Mcrae, all great discs garnering national reviews, Good Day No Rain deserves the same treatment.

  • One for the Road
    author: Leslie

    Haven't gotten chills in awhile? Put on this CD in your car and go for a drive. "I Want to Know" begins a musically brilliant journey through all of the emotions that drive the spirit. From the first note, Bill's voice makes you breathe a little faster. Open your mind...and hold the steering wheel tight. Embrace the lyrically painted truths, but don't forget to look both ways. "It's All Right There" has one of the steamiest crescendos I've ever heard. An astonishing blend of raw talent and inspired effort. Thanks, Bill.

  • I'd rather give this 10 stars
    author: Linda

    Each song on Good Day No Rain tells its own story. “Blue Sky Grey” tells a story of deception. “I’ll Be Here” tells a story of enduring love. “The Gift of Seeing Through” tells a story of faith and hope. The lyrics in each song are thoughtful and strong—this is definitely not a songwriter who tosses random words in because they rhyme. And possibly the best feature of this CD is that it doesn’t sound like anything or anyone else. This is classic Bill Deasy: earnest, searching, determined. He has his own sound and style, and he has never sounded better than on Good Day No Rain!

  • A poetic masterpiece!
    author: Tree

    This cd is amazing...I'm addicted to it! Every song is a favorite. Bill has a voice like an angel. You can lose yourself in his tranquil lyrics & music. It's as if he is depicting your own thoughts & feelings in his songs. Words don't give the cd justice - you have to hear (and feel) for yourself!

  • Awesome, simply awesome
    author: Tereasa

    As one of the Pittsburgh area Bill Deasy fans, I can say that it was truly worth the long wait for this release. Bill is a poet, and his voice and music make the words come alive. Every song will touch you and connect with something or some part of your life. They can make you smile and/or cry, sometimes simultaneously! It will be a long, long time before this CD leaves your player. My favorite (gosh, it is hard to pick!) is The Gift of Seeing Through.

  • Good Vocals and Backup. You feel their music.
    author: Robert Lee Johnson - The Guitar Man

    Reall Great Music. Good Vocals, and Great Backup Musc that moves you.

  • always a bill deasy fan!
    author: jodi

    I have to say there is not one song I do not like....Bill Deasy is deep, poetic, inspiring and soothing. Being a Pittsburgh native I see him every chance I get live....i am never disappointed, and I promise you will not be disappointed with this cd....it is ultimate Bill Deasy....

  • Great, amazing, and definitely worth the wait!
    author: Miguel Hernandez

    Good Day No Rain is an album comprised of a plethora of classic Bill Deasy melodies that can only be compared to a breath of fresh air in the current music industry. Favorites on this cd include: Blue Sky Grey, Prisoner, Who we are, I want to know, and I'll rescue you. This album is not only filled with beautiful melodies but it is also filled lyrics that contain simple yet powerful sentiments that most anyone can identify with. Through this album, Bill Deasy (the prolific song writer that he is), again, proves to be the Steven King of songwriters.

  • Album of the Year
    author: DB25

    Bill Deasy is one of the hottest talents to hit the music scene in a long while. His writing/music is so clever, real, original, and heart-felt. The CD gets better with each play and I can't stop playing it. Besides the hit Blue Sky Grey...my current favorites are I Will Rescue You and The Gift of Seeing Through. "An honest prayer..is like a midnight train, it'll take you there..through the wind and rain". When will someone step up and sign and promote this guy? Its a no-brainer.

  • Extraordinary!
    author: Nicole/Germany

    This CD is just extraordinary!!! If i had the chance, i´d given Bill Deasy at least 6 stars-and that wouldn´t be enough!! This CD really made my day and still makes me feel and smile and laugh and cry. As i mentioned: Extraordinary - simply the best!!!

  • Uniquely Deasy, Uniquely Great!
    author: Peter M.

    I have been looking forward to a new CD by Bill Deasy for quite some time. I can now say, with enthusiasm, that the wait was worth it! This CD is a great listen and hasn't left my CD player since I got it. It's the "thinking man's" (or woman's) feel good record. Great melodies, great lyrics and that same distinctive voice that made me fall in love with his stuff in the first place. If you like great singers, great melodies and great lyrics, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

  • an entire album worth listening to - every song is quality
    author: Lany

    it's been awhile since i enjoyed every track on an album. i can't get "in my head" out of my head and i particularly love the line "your window wore my breath". bill deasy is a poet and every line he writes is poignant. "blue sky grey" is a hit. i love "i want to know", particularly the line, "and you tasted like a breath mint". i also have to say that i love the artwork!!

  • Taking all my senses in seconds
    author: Hartmut

    If I'll ever be a PRISONER this songs will RESCUE me, if there's a time I WANT TO KNOW whats IN MY HEAD or what's making sense in this times, Mr.Deasy sings and shows us WHO WE ARE. Nothing more to say about it, I stop here and start listening again and again and again .....

  • Good things are happening
    author: Carsten

    Expexting the music and Style you find on Bill´s first solo album "Spring lies waiting"(very warm emotions, all presented quite silently) - you won´t get disappointed. "Good day no rain" shows us some of it.But- and i mean BUT, that´s just a little piece of what this extraordinary album contains! There won´t be anything you could miss- you just won´t give any other record the chance to be played on your cd player for a long,long time. "Prisoner" is one of these etremely powerful songs you won´t get out of your head."Blue sky grey" has everything a perfect song requires, so give it the national and international applause it deserves.My favourite at the moment: "The gift of seeing through".Listening to the album you won´t receive this special gift but you´ll be quite near by."Good things are happening"!!Let us share more of this.Germany still waits to see Bill Deasy in person...

  • Passionate inspired work from this talented singer/songwriter!
    author: Kevin Cregan

    This should be the breakthrough album for this very talented singer/songwriter from Pittsburgh. As always the lyrics are powerful, well-written, clever, and from the heart. His voice is stronger and more resonant than ever. The important new elements on this album are the crisp high-quality production and a supporting cast of top-notch studio musicians. Also present is what every artist needs to gain national attention: a song with definite "mega-hit" potential in "Blue Sky Grey." This song and this album may finally get Deasy the national attention he has long deserved.

  • Balm for the soul in these troubled times...
    author: Maree Gallagher
