Album Name: First one Free
Artist: Mark Bilyeu
Year/Label: 2005 / MayApple Records
Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
“Antique Dreams” is a nice pop song. It reminded me of Matthew Sweet but has a more classic/southern rock feel.
“Don’t Need So Much” and “Money” are more of the classic rock style.
“Finally Free”, “Backwater” are downright country.
“Home in the Country” is also country-ish but it’s more of a ballad. Lots of use of the slide guitar. Well done.
Other than the first song, this CD is not really my cup o’ tea, but I can recognize that he’s talented. If you like the sort of music he does, you’ll probably like this recording, as it’s clear he’s very good at it.
