Tweet Review: Jason Boesel

Jason Boesel Hustler's Son (Team Love Records, Jan. 12, 2010)

"Black Waves" "Only the foolish wave around with their medicine"... it's a dark back alley start to what promises to be an Americana classic.

"Hand of God" (mp3) A song about recovery and strength through thoughts and conversation. Boesel has such a smooth delivery.

"French Kissing" (mp3) The freedom of french kissing... a little Tom petty feel on this track.

"Burned Out and Busted" Is love really about being burned out and busted. Do tattoos affect love? It's an important question.

"New World Mama" It really is new world, but Boesel sings of this world in an old world style... compelling.

"Miracles" "I was an empty can on a tailgate" Women really do drain the energy sometimes.

"Hustler's Son" A real old fashion ditty. This is almost faux-country.

"Getting Healthy (Good Luck)" I've found when there is very little variation in instrumentation and song structure the listener focuses more on the lyrics.

"I Got the Reason #1" Is there a distinction between Americana and Country music? It feels like a fine line right now.

"Was It, Man?" How do you define a man, and when is life considered worth it?

"Winking Eye" It all about the bar room deals and the fear that it will all fall apart someday.
