-Red Light Fever- |
By Bob Silvestri
The Western New York area has a rich crop of talented singer songwriters,
Jackson Rohm of Mayville, NY can be included in that group with his latest
release Red Light Fever. The music takes on a Mid-Western urgency and Heartland
sound most closely identified with John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and other
of the genre. Rohm plays hook filled songs that are sometimes anthemic
but never bombastic or clichéd. That is due to the clean clear production
from Steve Jacula and Rohm. The disc begins with the jangly guitar sounds
of “Bleeding”. The celebratory sound of “One More Fourth Of July” and the
subdued organ sound on “Honesty Is Easy” are highlights as well as “Three
Miles To Lexington” and the title track “Red Light Fever”. Rohm also takes
on one of the most under rated song ever, Concrete Blonde’s “Joey” with
great results. Other tracks worth mentioning are “Anchor” and the bluesy
CD closer “Snug Harbor Lounge”. For more on the very talented Jackson Rohm
