Review by Stormy
3½ stars out of 4
"Leaving Town", the first song on this debut CD by Austin's Dexter Freebish
won the John Lennon Songwriters Contest, and with one listen, it is easy
to see why this song is so highly regarded. Snappy pop hooks are
interspersed with crunchy guitar passages and great melodic vocals, but
the fun isn't even close to being over with. "Higher" has a rootsy feel
born of the Texas hill country with soaring harmonies, while by contrast
"What Do You See" puts a spacey dose of psychedelia into a hard driving
rock groove. Throw in the gutsy headlong rocking title track and you have
a killer musical stew from a quintet of guys who really know how to write
and play. URL: www.dexterfreebish.com
