Release Notes:
--------
Out of Nashville, TN comes both Ricky Free and Devin Burrell. It's no secret
here that these guys are a truest breathe of fresh air since Rick Altizer or
Swirl 360. That both Ricky and Devin grew up in the heart of the contemporary
Christian music scene just explains how these guys have such a gifted mastery of
melodic rock. The opener "In Your Eyes" has a lot of great slickly produced
melody and an angelic choral break. the follow up "11 Years," has a simple
guitar melody and a total radio play about romance. The highlight of the EP for
me is "Six Feet Small" with it's catchy chorus and layered guitars. Very much
like a Jellyfish song, with Queen multi-layered guitars, it's a real blast of
greatness. Then "What Went Wrong" starts almost identical to McCartney's "Let'em
In" and then goes into another melodic gem of smooth pop with horn accents. The
music isn't overly preachy and a textbook example of how to do power pop right.
It's highly recommended here, so whens the full length LP, guys? -
