 Cory Linden
 Based on a True Story
 Review by Gary Hill

There is something to be said for pacing and laying out a set with the best material opening and closing. That’s something Cory Linden has accomplished here. His blend of classic soft rock and modern alternative rock is quite compelling. Linden shows a desire to bring in other sounds here and there for variety. His voice is quite smooth. He’s a great singer and the songs are all well written. This is quite a strong release.
Overall, it’s hard to imagine any listener for whom this disc would hold no treasures. It’s a very strong and accessible release. The vocals are top-notch, but so is the songwriting. The instrumental performances are also great and it’s produced for a nice clean, but not overly sterile sound. All in all, this one lands in the ‘win” column any day.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2013 Volume 4 at lulu.com/strangesound.
