Album Review
More cozy and marginal than Bob Schneider, less conforming than Springsteen, and often comparable to Elliot Murphy, Jeffrey Halford continues the great tradition of the blue-collar American folk rock singer/songwriter/guitarist. Some smart slide work and smoking riffs add a nice hitch to this disc's get-a-long blues-based rock. Halford and band blow the roof off with the rollicking up-tempo "Rent to Own" and approach genius with the touching, subtle ballad, "Railbirds." Halford's crisp clear vocals and no-nonsense delivery compliment the solid musicianship. Other highlights include the fun "Watching the Trains" and the dynamic venture, "Jump Into the Fire."
