Roger Street Friedman
Rise
Review by Gary Hill
There is a real genuine vibe to this album. The musical concepts are not all that unique. Blues, rock, pop, country, folk and Americana merge here in ways that don't shatter any molds. The thing is, the sense of passion, the quality of the songwriting and the general "real" texture of it all makes it work very well. This is a compelling set from start to finish, and it never feels repetitive or tired.
