Tiger Lou - Is my head still on? (Startracks)
I'm really impressed by this record. I've liked everything I've heard from the Tiger so far, but this really raises the bar. The material here has much more depth and personality than his previous work and the mood tends towards the somber and dark. It's obvious that he's really been developing his craft. The production is more heavy-handed on this album, too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I just know that when I saw him play "The War Between Us" live solely accompanied by guitar, it was quite powerful. The studio version is great, but it lacks the emotional impact of the sparser arrangement.
