Another winner from Martin Zellar & the Hardaways

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Martin Zellar's 3rd album since the demise of the Gear Daddies is another excellent roots-rock outing. Zellar is a terrific singer and songwriter, and his band the Hardways provide great accompaniment for him to do his thing. This is a very organic sounding album, lots of acoustic and electric guitar, organ, and even horns and strings on a couple of tunes. While definitley a rock & roll album, there is a pronounced (in a good way) country influence here. It's twangy in spots, but this is a good thing, not a cheesey, formulaic modern-Nashville thing. It's a crying shame that an artist with such great, honest work doesn't get more airplay (but considering the crap on the radio these days, maybe that's a good thing). This album should appeal to fans of Springsteen, Mellencamp, The Eagles, BoDeans, Wilco, etc."
