Lost in America

Reader Reviews
Starts off so folkie it takes you back to those folk clubs you've visited, and corn fields, not up-beat but so real. The first song is about Jack Kerouac: "He had a rambling soul, he drank a bottle of cheep wine... ...Under an open sky, he stares with his eyes closed" Simple but sublime lyrics, - BUT HANG ON after a gentle opening the album's taking off like every lively folk/rock band you ever heard, thumping drums & flicking guitar- edges towards heavy rock but not quite - this, the title track, comes together in a crescendo of crashing Neal Young type guitars. For the most part it's youthful country rock, forget that I said "it's not up-beat", it is!. Bill Deasy is a great credible lead singer, and Dave Brown can lift-off on guitar. A tight outfit. Wordy songs but not without tune. One or two really good love songs here, and no less than three songs about Jack! There were three used copies on Amazon.co.uk for only Ł4 each, they've been snaped up, UK fans should now come here. How do you describe an album so sincere? "Un-corny tunes" & "fluctuates between gentle and exuberant" is hardly adequate. Phenomenal Album.
