The sophomore jinx? Not on this CD, Andy Poxon’s Tomorrow on EllerSoul Records. This young man has a gift. He has talent.
Mike Zito has Gone To Texas and we should all be thankful he did. This album is about making a choice to start over, facing and conquering inner demons, and being reborn.
Frank Bang and The Secret Stash bring it with “Double Dare.” This album rocks, slides, roars and even soothes in places. This is an energetic album. If this doesn’t get you rockin’ then you need to make sure you still have a pulse.
