Album Notes

This album consists of 10 tracks ranging from full on rockers like 'Sweet Marie' and 'On The Otherside' to piano songs 'Everyday' and 'Brighter Day' to even folk rock in 'Stolen'. released in the U.K in December of 2005 on white label. Some heart felt melodies and lyrics, to plain fun songs with hooky choruses - 'Light Of My Eye' captures this element, especially the lyric in the bridge!

If you like rock 'n' roll with a hint of commercial pop then you'll love this. The tracks range from up-tempo rockers through power ballads and some folk-rock all excellently delivered. The band are tight and well balanced and Rich has a great rock voice (and I mean this in a positive way) with traces of Bryan Adams, Steve Earle, and possibly even David Gray in places. A truly enjoyable CD and one that I'll be playing for a long time.
