With titles like “Joe McCarthy Is Sweeping Off His Grave, you might expect to find lyrics of a political nature on Colin Spring’s latest release. And though you would not be wrong you may bve surprised by the depth of feeling and the range of emotion that are also present, chugging along aton a rolling Wurlitzer oregan and and solid blues rock beat.

“What is all this free speech for when we can’t use it anymore/It’s the red scare with a veil across its face…they’re still blacklisting all the tongues that misbehave”, sings Spring in his husky, born to rock voice-not quite Dylan, not quite Springsteen, just absolutely real. “Does She Still” takes a quick trip throught past loves; “Lover, There’s A Light On” has the feel of an Italian ballad with plaintive mandolin, while the poetic imagery of “November” will take your breath away. Check it out, you won’t be sorry.
