I was not sure what to expect from the Dan Bruder Band's debut album "Act of Kindness". After all, this guy popped onto the music scene through his NJ-based rock comedy television series "Who the Hell is Dan Bruder” and the real life band that steps out of the show includes rock icons Liberty Devitto (Billy Joel), Lorenza Ponce (Bon Jovi), John Ginty (Robert Randolph/Citizen Cope), Muddy Shews (Southside Johnny) and Devon Allman (Honeytribe). The web series is about a slightly delusional, middle-aged wannabe rocker who can't let go of the dream of stardom and has been building a steady global following. The show has premiered this month to the 15 million viewers of Relix and had a feature article this week in the North Jersey Record newspaper http://www.northjersey.com/arts_entertainment/99817749_Dream_chaser.html?c=y&page=1 and in the upcoming issue of The New Jersey Aquarium.
But having a web hit is a far cry from being able to deliver meaningful music, great musician line-up or not. But I have to hand it to Bruder, he created an album that is a a fresh, poignant Americana rock collection that has hints of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, but with his own flavor and colorations. It really works. Songs like Song For A Lucky Man are flawlessly executed and others like the title track, Act of Kindness are more raw with blemishes and warts but are forgivable because the energy and conviction of the music is very powerful. It is also important to note that Bruder is a killer songwriter and lyricist who deserves a lot of recognition in the industry. So the web series is very funny in that Larry David "Curb Your Enthusiasm" kind of way but the music is deadly serious. It is a nice overall package that I highly recommend checking out. |

The Battlefield Band is one of my favorites. They do contemporary Celtic music, and its really, really awesome. My heritage is mostly Scottish and German so no wonder I find this type of music soothing. I think they are rather unknown (at least in my community) and I just want to spread the word.
