Album Notes

ONE BAD MUTHA, GOT A RATTLESNAKE SUITCASE UNDER HIS ARM, Yowza

First solo CD by NYC\'s Steve Broderick shows his immediately identifiable voice on some mellower music than he\'s sang in the past.

Broderick, who has been a vocalist with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra recently, strikes out with a solo effort (and I don\'t mean strikes out like the disc is a loser, rather that he ventures out on his own apart from the band). The sound is solid, with a classic blues-based approach to rock. And Broderick has some good help here - from producer/bassist Mike Lutz, who wrote \"Smokin\' in the Boy\'s Room\" to guitarists Blue Miller (Bob Seger), Joel Hoekstra, and drummer Mark Ambrosino (Stevie Wonder, Michael McDonald). But it is Broderick\'s voice that holds court, a voice which displays a wide range of tones and emotions. On \"You Don\'t Even Know,\" even with guitar lines working back and forth, his vocals still cut through. And on a ballad like \"No Accident,\" Broderick shows a breathy side as the song begins, intoning softly as the chords descend. Yet he can also snarl like a junkyard dog, as on \"Lovelight,\" a song that sounds like a rejuvenated Rolling Stones tune. Of the songs, there is just one cover, \"Never A Day Goes By\" by Artful Dodger, with the other dozen tunes penned by Broderick and his collaborators. Whether the song is a blasting rock number or a pensive ballad, it is Broderick\'s voice that holds it all together thematically. www.stevebroderick.com

\"Steve Broderick is a major talent and fine singer; this worthy debut will no doubt be picked up by a national major label very soon.\"
