I’m sure it’s just the translation software. I’m sure in Dutch this reads like Noel Coward, but here’s what KG Music Press sent over last night from the Dutch site, “CNTRL ALT COUNTRY“. My favorite quote is

“this enjoy is blown from the first to the last note.”

GRANT LANGSTON “Stand Up Man” (MSG Records) GRANT Langston “Stand Up Man” (MSG Records)

(3,5****) (3.5 ****)

“Stand Up Man”, Grant Long Tons sixth, is the kind of plate as in LA seem to be made. Langston, his band The Super Models and producer Rich McCulley find them just about the perfect balance between traditional country in many aspects and road house rock. From Bakersfield pur (opener “Stand Up Man”) to energize countryrock (Burt Reynolds Movie Brawl “), a handsome semi-ballad (” Shiner Bock And Vicodin “) to a voluptuous stampertje on his Texan (” 30 Days “) of a steel sounds soaked traditional tug (” Just Pretend You Love Me Tonight “) to guitar pregnant, hitgevoelige alt. country (” Not Another Song About California) California thoroughbred country ( “Call Your Bluff”) to by the Amy Farris on fiddle and mandolin of McCulley put commercial concession ( “I Give Up”) of supersonic swing ( “Damn Good Day”) to a swampy note (the closing reprise of “Call Your Bluff”), this enjoy is blown from the first to the last note. And if you like country with a sharp edge to it, then you must also believe that we not let down!
