ROCK ON! This Week's Sound Bites...8/8/19

By Danny Coleman
originally published: 08/08/2019

A little more than a year ago, Neshanic Station, NJ songwriter/guitarist Tom Flynn released "Travels," a 10 track disc that lives up to its name. "Travels" meanders in and out of styles, genres and tempos while taking the listeners on an eclectic journey inside the artist's songwriting mind. 

Recorded with the assistance of some of the best musical talent the Garden State has to offer and produced by Tom Brislin and mastered by Stephen DeAcutis; this CD has great sonic quality and instrumentation to go along with unique lyrics and interpretations. 

Track One, "Automatic People," starts off with an '80's feel a la the Gin Blossoms and with a slightly edgy bass driven breakdown approximately three quarters of the way in. Flynn has recently released a video for this cut that can be found here: https://youtu.be/8p_vHbKePiE.

"Fuel Line" is in the number two position and kicks in with an upbeat, distorted, bluesy guitar riff that segues into a pop feel punctuated by synthesizer interludes which give the song a familiarity. Here too, the sound has a definite blast from the past; think The Cars "Just What I Needed." A catchy tune that grabs your attention and would've made a nice first track, had that spot not already been taken. 

The third track, "Tradition Trains" is a considerable downshift from the openers and with its haunting vocals and harmonies is a stark contrast to the other two. A Fender Rhodes sound buried just beneath the surface mixed with a rich bass line leading the way give this tune progressive rock overtones.

Up next is "Just A Song," another slow piece led by a deep bass line and straight forward acoustic rhythms. This one feels out of place; not sure whether it's a filler track or intentional.

"Beautiful" is a very nice piano and acoustic guitar work with synthesized string accents and a reverb laden vocal that paints this offering with an almost medieval feel; picture a troubadour with a lute. Well penned lyrics give it some warmth. 

Track Six, "Your Trail Goes Cold" is a half speed electric ditty that feels like it's on the edge of busting loose; reminding you of young boy being held back from running away by his shirt tails. A snappy rhythm with a tasty guitar solo and underlying keyboards keep this tune going forward and although not too upbeat it works well. 

"Long Line Waiting" is another with haunting vocals similar to "Tradition Trains" and features  acoustic guitar with some very good production work; this too has an Emerson, Lake & Palmer progressive vibe. 

Like "Fuel Line" and "Beautiful," "Tick Tock Man" was co-written with producer Brislin. This cut is large and with its dynamics, swells and great drum work takes us on a fast ride around the park. Reminiscent of the Moody Blues, this one cooks and even at an opus-like 6:48 is easily one of the highlights of the album. 

If there was a country guitarist who mated with Keith Emerson their love child would be the instrumental Track Nine, "Playground." This too has some pep in its step and will get some toes tappin'.

The song that ends this journey features backing vocals by the fabulous Michaela McClain and is titled, "Lullaby Your Way Home;" percussion and acoustic guitar are the mainstays of this one with some synthesizer at the end; an apt finish for this collection. 

---

"Travels" is diverse in its presentation and shows some of Flynn's versatility as an artist. This is a good album for those who enjoy '70's progressive rock with some occasional new wave and folk bits thrown in the recording cauldron.

That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
