Pier in New York City. SoundPress.net’s Rockin’ Rich Lynch
had the pleasure of seeing this
tour and says, “It was my favorite Neil show and I’ve seen a
bunch. The Blue Note band had
it all from jazz, to jam, blues and
soul. Maybe Neil will reprise this
grouping some day.” This was
blue collar Neil Young at his best
and it’s get no better than the anthemic and energizing ‘Ten Men
Workin’ “... Brian Keenan’s Fits
and Starts is the artist’s second
full length album and the record
captures the many moods and
influences of the man - from Wil-
burys-esque road songs to Scott
Walker ballads, Replacements
burners and syrupy sweet Donovan folk numbers. In total, there
are 10 tracks of vivid imagination
and storytelling that add color
and definition to the singersongwriter’s catalog. He is joined
by a cast of veteran players including James Preston (Zachary
Cale, Heaven’s Jail), Rob Heath
(Justin Townes Earle, Allison
Moorer), and Kirk Schoenherr
(Chet Faker). Also featuring Jen
Keenan in her debut on keyboards and vocals... See ya next
month!
