Album Name: Goliath Falling
Artist: John McKinstry
Year/Label: 2008 / Mojo Brand
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
John McKinstry makes his solo debut after being in the band the Skanksters. A recent two year “walkabout”( I can never hear that word without thinking of Crocodile Dundee), inspired the singer to make this music.
Mary Celeste is a joyous celebration of life, McKinstry singing in a relaxed fashion to a solid backing.
Crackdown is a bit rougher, a catchy rhythm underpinning the melody.
Andean Heights is a reggae-tinged track about the joys of climbing mountains.
The title song is about daring to hope for a change in these troubled times and is as upbeat as they come. The singer sounds convincingly hopeful. His record is a great thing.
