Glen Burtnick is an artist from New Jersey that I always thought should have been the 'next one' from Jersey. He released several solo albums, was a member of Styx for a while, and is part of The Weeklings now.
This was his second album and included a minor hit in "Follow You" (I was at the video shoot in Philadelphia). Songs like "Spinning My Wheels" and "Abelene" are among the best in his catalog. The entire album is very strong; it just didn't get the record label support it needed, imo.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "Big Black Car" from "My Island," the third album from Jersey rocker Part Time Baby, aka singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Goldstein.
