Block
Lead Me Not Into Penn Station
Producer: Thom Panunzio & Adam Peters Top Cuts: "Future‚s Coming On Too Fast.", "Rhinoceros", "She IsS" Summary: With a clever album title, lyrical riddles that would make Dylan proud and a contemporary electric edge, Jamie Block‚s an anti-folk artist in the finest sense. An engaging songwriter with a charisma that shines through these memorable tunes, this is not an album for the politically correct crowd. Rather, it‚s a collection of songs for those of us who like illuminating songs in an alternative folk rock context. The only problem is that Block missteps a couple of times, but not enough to ruin a top-rate album
