Summary: IT ROCKS
Comment: Pure country rock almost as good as Andy's first album.
The only bad thing in this CD is the picture on the jacket!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Distinctive, powerful and emotional modern country-rock vocals
Comment: After a successful three-CD run at RCA that yielded a pair of top-10 album entries and six top-10 singles, Nashville country-rocker Griggs moved to the indie Montage label. This latest release makes good on the huskier promise his voice always implied, by doing away with the mannered arrangements with which he was framed at RCA. His hand-picked producer, Frank Myers, loads up muscled guitars, bass and drums, ala Montgomery Gentry and Big & Rich, and spurs Griggs to dig down for grittier performances. Unlike the Muzik Mafia's cohorts, Griggs mostly sings without irony, pouring emotion into the lyrics of upbeat rockers, banjo-lined country tunes and ballads alike. This isn't to suggest he can't lighten up, as he does in reading the riot act of "You Can't Drive My Cadillac," but it's the exception in a program of serious songs. The album's first singles, "Tattoo Rose" and "What If It's Me" stalled in the mid-50s, but that's more a reflection on country radio's MOR tastes (and major label dependency) than the energy and quality of Griggs' work. Those who liked Griggs voice but found his RCA releases limited by Nashville's studio sound should give him a second listen; fans will enjoy hearing his passion unleashed.

The new album covers plenty of ground musically, from barn-burning rockers and retro-feeling story tunes to soul-searing ballads and bonified weepers. Andy translates each tale perfectly, channeling his bluesy, soulful side on tracks like "All About The Money," a cautionary tale about the root of all evil, and "Long Way Down," a wailing good time of a tune about the power of a woman's charms. His crystal clear vocals weigh heavy with anguish on "What If It's Me," a song about a man who finally realizes why his relationships keep crashing and burning, as well as on the power ballad "Tears And Time." And contemplative cuts like "If You Had Called Yesterday" and the masterfully written "Time Is A Gypsy" find Andy testifying in the bittersweet tones of a man who has crossed that line of no return in a relationship. He even channels a bit of his inner Elvis on "You Can't Drive My Cadillac," a fun, rockabilly-tinged ode to the American classic that lets a woman know just how far she can push her man. And he proves he can still rock with the best of them on the self-penned "Long Stretch Of Lonesome," a pounding, thumping backbeat of a Waylon tune that is an unapologetic love song to the open road and its unfettering promise. A fitting close to the record is Andy's cover of the old 70's LeRoux classic, "New Orleans Ladies." Laid down not long after Hurricane Katrina hit his home state, Andy felt it a proper way to pay tribute to the Louisiana roots that factor into his sound so heavily. The moment he playfully challenges, "Hey Y'all, Check This Out," in the opening notes of the new CD you know that you're in for some serious fun and entertainment. That was exactly the hardworking singer's goal in making the record he's always wanted to make.
