"His songwriting is second to none"
Brian Lindsay has been taking the New York music scene by storm over the past few years. His songwriting is second to none and he has a few songs that have been recorded by other artists that are receiving national air play. But what really drives Brian Lindsay is performing his own music, that's why he has finally decided to record his own CD, "The Crossing".

"The Crossing" is a unique blend of musical genres that produce his unique "Americana" sound. It's like mixing Bruce Springsteen with the Northern Pikes and adds some jazz and blues influence in it as well. It gives you a feeling like you are in the heart of the USA during the early 20th century where the country's values and pride were being formed.

Songs like the title track, "The Crossing" and "East Side Of The River" showcase more of a country feel than the rest of the record. They are both powerful tracks that could be appreciated if Brian Lindsay ever opened for Bruce Springsteen. These tracks are very well written and showcase Brian's excellent songwriting.

One of my favorite tracks on the record is "Lonesome Train". It is a throwback to good old rock and roll tracks by artists like the Northern Pikes. This track showcases the energy that Brian puts into his performances. The track is upbeat and has some excellent guitar work on it. The more you listen to it, it almost sounds like a more southern George Thorogood.

Another excellent track is the more ballad like "The Night Is Long". The track has a 1950's feel to it but still shows Brian's rock influence. It turns out to be a very good love song that has a timeless feel to it. This song is one that you defiantly cannot miss.

If you are in the New York area you should look to see if Brian Lindsay is performing and go see him and support his music. Please go to his website, http://www.brianlindsay.net/ and check out some clips of his CD and buy it there if you like it.
