Glen Burtnick
"Palookaville"

Released in 1994

Glen Burtnick is an artist from New Jersey that I always thought would be 'the next one'. He released this album after being a member of Styx. It's a wonderful album with songs like "Watching the World Go By" and "The Liars Club" that I'd put among the best of his career. One of the songs here "Spirit of a Boym, Wisdom of a Man" went to #2 on the country tracks when released by Randy Travis.

Here are two more tracks to check out
