JOE D'URSO & STONE CARAVAN - Sway
Rootsy meat and potatoes rock'n'roll gets quite a pleasant and melodic workout on this enjoyable and engaging album. Joe D'Urso's endearingly hoarse voice immediately puts the listener at ease. Moreover, D'Urso straightforward songwriting has a plain-spoken simplicity to it that cuts right to the heart of the matter with a refreshing clarity and dearth of pretense. The arrangements are likewise basic and uncluttered, but still tuneful and lively enough to keep things boppin' along throughout. The earnest and affecting average folks subject matter along with D'Urso's down-to-earth perspective serves as the tasty cherry on an already yummy cake. A fine and moving gem. - Joe Wawrzyniak, JerseyBeat.com
