Stephen Jacques
Charmed to Death
Review by Gary Hill
This is a good album, but there are some songs that definitely miss the mark for me. The music is largely in the singer-songwriter vein, but lean toward classic rock and country a lot of times. The main issue I have is with the vocals. They have a raw, DIY approach that sometimes works alright, but other times really drags the song down. Still, this is reasonably strong from a punky kind of grunge perspective, and some songs really rise up toward greatness.
