Makin Waves Album of the Month: "Northern Town" by Cranston Dean

by Bob Makin
published 2023-05-17

​​​​​​​Jersey Shore great Cranston Dean always has reminded me of Jackson Browne because there are both organic-sounding multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters with an eloquent penchant for rhyme amidst every-day stories for everyone. "Toe the Line," the opening track of Cranston's latest album, "Northern Town," is a perfect example of his Jackson sensibilities. In this case, it's post-'70s, plugged-in Jackson ala "Boulevard" and "Somebody's Baby," but I was psyched to feel that vibe right from the get go on "Northern Town," because Jackson is one of my all-time favorite artists, and I feel the same way about Cranston at a local level.

An on-screen photo of songwriter Jimmy Webb and musician Glen Campbell welcomes concertgoers to The Vogel in Red Bank, NJ this Sunday, May 7, 2023 afternoon for a musical tribute entitled Jimmy Webb: The Glen Campbell Years. One of the greatest songwriters of the past half century, Jimmy Webb composed tunes like "Up, Up and Away" for The Fifth Dimension and "The Worst That Could Happen" for The Brooklyn Bridge, but some of his most memorable hits — "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman," and more — came about as a result of his musical affiliation with the legendary singer and musician Glen Campbell.
