Having only recently got into Gaslight (When '59 Sound came out)I feel that maybe I missed out a little on the early buzz that followed them around with "Sink or Swim", but who cares about that. Now I'm involved and there's nothing you can do about it!
Labeled as perhaps the spawn of Springsteen, these working class heroes change their telecasters for a wee acoustic fondle with this acoustic rendition of "Great Expectations", the opener on '59 sound. Perhaps it's just me, but does love, loss and small town angst sound a little more nostalgic under the tinkle of an acoustic guitar?
The congealed husk of Brian Fallon's purr sounds incredibly patriotic on this track without adhering to any over-the-top "Go Go America" cliches. He can certainly pen a lovable anthem and I think it's time the world stood up and listened to the stories this this man has to tell, they strive sincerely close to the perfect American Rock and Roll anthem.
