CD Review - By Bob

After
releasing two albums of classic Heartland pop/rock, Jackson Rohm decided
a change was needed before recording his next disc. The Jamestown, NY native
who currently resides in Cleveland, OH, headed to the capitol of country
music, Nashville. The result of that change is his exciting new disc Long
Way from Moving On. His music and vocals seem most comfortable in the country
music mode and results in his best work yet. His country charm shines on
the tracks "The Old Me" and the title cut "Long Way from Moving On". A
couple of wistful ballads "Driving with the Brakes On" and "Don't Cut Your
Hair" would not be out of place on the current Country Top 40. The blindside
lover's tale "Your Wife is Cheatin on Both of Us" is an unusual take on
the normal tryst. Rohm shows he still has the rocker in him on the track
"Christine" about an unattainable girlfriend. By the sound of his latest
Long Way from Moving On, Jackson Rohm has found his niche. For more on
