"This young singer-songwriter, a Pittsburgh native now based Los Angeles, shows great potential. With major label-worthy
hooks and a slow burning intensity, Gene Owens has put together a record that holds the subdued anger of rockers like
Staind and the vocal style of hard rockers like Alice in Chains' Layne Staley, but still knows how to hold to a restrained groove and simple metaphor. The ghostly pedal steel on "Some Things Never Change" and the piano on "Not the One" contrast well with the full-out Connells rock of "Chance" and the acoustic intimacy of "Hollywood." As he grows in experience and notoriety, Gene Owens will surely become a notable name in the world of rock songwriters."

This CD is fantastic--don't miss it!
author: Penny
After reading some outstanding endorsements of "Beautifully Strange", I took the chance that it might be at my local record store. I'm thinking that Gene Owens must be far too good for mainstream listeners, but sadly, they are missing out on some outstanding music. The melodies and lyrics will soothe your spirit and make you feel like you're one of the lucky ones who had the chance to hear it. Don't miss it.

Welcome change, up lifting, yet sometimes moody album
author: Frank
By the first moment Beautifully Strange begins and ends, you feel like you've been on a wonderful, but sad at times, emotonal ride. Each of these eleven crafted songs by Gene Ownes is an open book to his soul, and at times for the listener. This is one of the best albums created by a newcomer artist. It's a must have!
