CD Reviews and comments
Singer/songwriter/musican Jack Mosley from South Florida has put out another great CD in 2005. Jack is talented and one of nicest artists you could ever hope to meet.
This CD has 11 tunes, all very good or great. The first track is Down On Duval, one of favs on this CD. Jack is many things but most of all he's a songwriter. And there is no doubt Jack likes writing drinkin' songs. The first 3 songs deal with the fun of drinkin'. I have no problem with that!
Then the CD changes with Gypsy Wind, a beautiful ballad. Down In The Islands is a great island tune written while Jack went back to Nashville for some songwritin'. Summer Afternoons reminds all the boys of summer and camping, our lost youth, I love this tune.
My Little Town By The Bay is sort of sad because Jack got hit by a hurricane and his town, like most tourist areas, are getting over run by "snowbirds". My word, not Jack's. Big hotels and such. You couldn't pay me to live where Jack does but I understand his feelings.
I think Jack is Good At Being Bad, likes to sing about it! Jack's fun songs are great but his ballads get to your heart like It's A Beautiful Day. It's a simple song about a damn good day.
On this CD Jack was joined by Vaughn Lofstead on guitar, Rick Rhenberg on bass and Joe Fiorentiono on drums.
The title track is one of the best. Sad, lost love in a tourist town. Jack can write songs and sing them too.
Jack Mosley is one of the best indie artists out there. Tourist Town Blues is Jack's 4th CD. I won't say it's his best because I love them all! |
