"Lindsay's new CD, The Crossing, is an outstanding collection of Americana-styled songs..."
A couple very talented men recently sent out their impressive new solo efforts, including Brian Lindsay, who you may have seen performing with his longtime group, The Bootleggers at any number of venues around town. Lindsay's new CD, The Crossing, is an outstanding collection of Americana-styled songs, blending a rockin' New Jersey sound (ala Springsteen) with a Midwestern, rootsy flavor (think Mellencamp). Recorded at the superior GFI Studios, Lindsay excels as a master songwriter, crafting melodic and meaningful tracks, all sung with a slight twang, and lots of soulful passion. The first single, "East Side of the River," has already been added to at least nine AAA stations, but my favorite is the musician-makes-good story of "Brave New World (Wide Open)," which finds Lindsay singing with contagious excitement about NYC adventures (reminiscent of the Boss' "Rosalita"). Hear for yourself as Lindsay celebrates the release on Saturday, July 30th at the Newport House, with an all-star jam promised!
