Album: High On Jackson Hill
Released: April 28, 2009
Label: Mint Records
Stars: 4.5
Skippable Tracks: 1

The funny thing about this skippable track is that it's song number ONE. Not really a good choice for a first track in my opinion, but maybe someone really wanted it on the album, and another person decided to put it on as the first track just to get it out of the way. I feel like the rest of the album is a LOT better than that this first track.

After that first little bump, you will not have to touch any buttons for the rest of the album; except maybe to crank it up. I especially enjoyed the folk track You Destroyer, a nice little break early in the album. I've must have listened to that song about ten times in a row. The beautiful voice, and raw recording made me fall absolutely in love with it right from the beginning. The only problem with that track was that it left me wanting more, and a whole lot more of that type of sound. Sadly, that sound never comes back. We do hear a couple more ballads later on in the record such as I know its not easy, And It Was, and Blurry Days which are quite great in their own wright.

The rest of the album rocks-out quite a bit more with Sound the Alarm, Primary Colors, all incredibly catchy rockin' tracks. This is one of my recent favorites to pop in to the disc layer! Check it out!
