This pop/ rock album is a nice little Americana joy ride that has the melodic ability to get into your head and stay awhile. Most of these 11 original tunes are a guitar driven mixture of roots rock and alternative while others take a back porch mandolin approach, all with real authentic storytelling. A wide range of influences from rock to country, to folk, are evident and the song topics run the gamut from love and frustration to politics and frustration. Mainly this album rocks and just might be the best surprise of 2003 Bio: Steve hails from the Berkshire mountains of western Mass, a beautiful cultural mecca that has drawn artist's from all walks of life, who feed on the diversity of musical genres which the area has to offer. This promising singer / songwriter has obviously benefited and is now blossoming in this creative rural spot in the sun. He has spent the last few decades mainly playing drums and singing in other bands while also woodshedding on guitar and songwriting. he is also an Arborist (tree expert), and environmentally friendly, unlike the current republican regime in Washington DC.
