"His work can be compared with the work of Springsteen and Mellencamp"
Brian Lindsay's career is quite long. He played in the New York region and he worked and recorded albums with many musicians and bands. During those years he recorded over a hundred songs, which were also played by other musicians/bands so it can be stated that he was a respected author as well. He worked over 2 years on his solo album trying to find songs that would show him as a singer-songwriter in an adequate way. It certainly looks like he succeeded in that attempt.

"The Crossing" is an album with 12 author's themes that promote him as a singer-songwriter because they touch rock, rhythm and blues, soul and other typically American elements. Brian is a very emotional singer and author, so topics that concern him are described in his work in a very personal and sincere way. His work can be compared with the work of Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp. As a singer, Brian uses narrative and, in some ways, he is like a "storyteller" but those songs are very noticeable. He doesn't sound average or, god forbid, boring for even one moment.

"The Crossing" contains material that is respectable and that adequately probes the author's qualities of Brian Lindsay.
