As you, fair reader, most likely know : Very little music that’s been recorded lately impresses me. Sure, there has been some great RE-ISSUES out lately with new re-masters or DVD-Audio, but as far as new artists go - very few come close to even touching ‘the bar’ anymore.
Well…… Shazam! I am here to tell you this : local hero Matt Maysreleased an album back in December that stands up to my difficult and sometimes ornery battery of ‘great music’ requirements. Original and well produced, the songs try to be nothing more than what they are.
Stand-out tracks, in no particular order;
- The Past
- Spoonful of Sugar
- Never Saw it Comin’
- 850 Commando
- Mornin’ Sun

And no, that is not an affiliate link. Just a good old fashioned rock and roll reccomendation from uncle Jake.
