Singer/songwriter pop-rock is the genre here. Chris’s vocals are rich and deeply entrenched in glorious harmonies. Sure there are about a gazillion likeminded singer/songwriters out in the industry struggling to get noticed, but the reason that you should pay attention to this guy and his outfit is because they pay attention. To every nitpicking detail. Whether it’s the rootsy approach to guitar tone, with twanging notes that sound purely from the Delta blues school of sound or the incredibly lavish production that sounds big budget but was probably accomplished with more elbow grease than million dollar studio time. It doesn’t hurt that his lyrics show his character and give an insider look to his thought process. Tender music this strong is a rare gem, so be sure to polish this rhinestone up nice and shiny.
