For those of you aspiring artists out there, sending a picture of your band does make a difference. I just can’t say bad things about a group of people when I have a picture of them looking at me, especially when they’re smiling. Especially when they’re smiling.
If you were going to name yourself Blackberry River Band, it would probably be because you were a bunch of fun-loving people trying to recapture your youth by playing in a classic rock-style band, one that people would like if it played Steely Dan and CCR covers all the time at the local bar. Ordinarily such acts are not good enough to create their own music, but not necessarily. There are a few gems on this album that are worth a listen.
“You’ll Be There” has all the components of a legitimate bona fide song. You can sense that a lot of effort was put into the production of the music of this album. Oddly, it makes the lyrics sound out of place because the music is too clean, or the lyrics are too raw. Take your pick.
“Two Halves Make a Whole” will never win any songwriting awards, but the musicianship is easily transferable. Weird Al Yankovic should take note. All it needs are some funny lyrics and an accordion, and we’re all set.
