If you take one spoon of Tom Petty, one spoon of Jon Bon Jovi (solo), one spoon of John Prine and spice it with John Mellencamp, Tom Waits and Elvis Costello – you have a musical meal called BILLY FALCON.
I believe a lot of you guys already knows this and are aware of the man and his music. I have reviewed two of his albums here at the site before and they’re both good solid albums in the genre somewhere between Midwest rock, singer songwriter and the rootsy Nashville-scene. But the new one is even a little better than these two previous reviewed ones here at the melodic.net.
The songwriting is all through good and the production is solid as a rock. The album is slightly different in the sound and is a little more rootsy which suits Billy’s voice really nice and one example of this is “The Rest Of The Song” which I want to put in front of everything else.
This is such a fabulous tune. It’s like the perfect mix between Blake Morgan and Tom Waits. And there are plenty more on this album I can highly recommend like “Brick Of A Bridge” and the John Prine goes Tom Petty smelling “Mr Smith”. Nah – enuff said – this album is at it feels now the best one Billy Falcon have done – and we’re speaking about ten ones to choose from.
I know I have delivered three 4 star-reviews on one week – but what the hell can I do when albums are this good? Billy is worth every shining star of it.
