A main strength of Jesse Harrison's music is his distinctive vocals and his words are literate and strong. There's a positivity in his songs; he's not a torchbearer with a "message" but there's a clear sense of strength behind his voice. A sense of health. And he is prolific too, the guy has about 10 albums since the mid 1990's. "Any Alright Man" is a straight ahead solid rock song that i challenge anyone to write! These home based recordings find Jesse with a strong backing band, and it sounds more like a collection of songs by a band than a solo guy bringing along his friends.  I dig it. (Disclaimer - I am biased because I have one or two of his songs I have covered in my own live sets & albums)
