Jerry Falzone: "Off The North Coast"

SGR Records

By Frank De Blase on January 31, 2007

Jerry Falzone's Off The North Coast plays soft and easy with the kind of folky depth that keeps the songs' importance intact. Falzone doesn't use his well-crafted tunes as excuses to show off his musicianship, but rather allows the songs to speak for themselves. Even though he fleshes out all 12 tracks with a good-sized band and Sam Gruttadauria's lush production, everyone involved hangs back nicely. Traces of The Beatles and Gordon Lightfoot swirl here and there. Give Off The North Coast a listen; it'll make it all better.
