Habe die Band live als Vorgruppe von Pink erlebt und mir daraufhin die CD bestellt. Die CD ist echt super, allerdings kann sie mit einem Liveauftritt echt nicht mithalten. Sollte man wirklich mal erlebt haben.
Butch Walker is quite possibly the best songwriter in this business. He had his hit with "The Marvelous 3", but deserved much more. The band was virtually "raped" by Elektra. He decided to go out on his own and retain his friendship with the guys from the band. They still maintain a great friendship. Butch has found his way into producing and writing mega hits for some of the biggest names in the business such as Green Day, Pink, Avril Levigne, Weezer and many many more. He Deserves the acclaim from this world outside of the artists that he helps. This cd is absolute proof of what a great songwriter, singer, guitarist, piano player and probably more instruments than i know he plays. What makes his music so special is the fact that he is real. His songs are from the heart and never forced. His lyrical content is true poetry that brings you into his life. In my opinion he is the most underrated performer I have ever seen. He has the acclaim of the industry and fellow artists. He desrves the acclain of the millions of people that listen to his music and don't even know it when they put on a cd of their favorite bands and are loving the song that he either wrote or produced while someone else is performing it. The irony is that he is honestly just about the best singer their is. So yeah call me a mega fan and I am proud of it. Whenever i play a song of his my friends ask me "who is this"? Then I do my best to explain the story. I don't believe that I can do it justice however. My suggestion is to buy every Butch Walker cd. What you will find is so many different types of music. So many styles and yet you will feel the heart and soul of a tremendous talent. You will ask yourself "why haven't I learned of this man before. I promise you that!
One of the best material ever made by Butch... And being the CD release after the fire that took all Butch's stuff away, it's even more touching. You can feel his experience and you can see how he healed all the wound. these songs lingers in my life memories!
