Free Music Review: There's Something Happening Here...
Hit: 5 Stars
...what it is ain't exactly clear.
True enough, Stephen Stills.
But this album makes one thing VERY clear:
Carolina Liar commands our attention.
The musical essence of the album is anthem rock, but it's hardly a "back in the 80's tonight" anachronism. From the opening acoustical guitar riff of "I'm Not Over," which explodes into the choral pronouncement, "I'm not over, I'm not over you just yet," through the extraordinary rock-gospel hybrid "Show Me What I'm Looking For," ("Save me, I'm lost. Oh Lord, I've been waiting for you. I'll pay any cost. Save me from being confused. Show me what I'm looking for, show me what I'm looking for, oh, Lord." A prayerful lyric driven by an addictive hook which I, a recently divorced man, find empowering) through the concluding love-and-devotion anthem "When You are Near" ("When you are near me, when you are here, I see all that I'm made of, and all that I am. When you are near.") this album, while drawing on past forms, remains contemporary and wonderfully inspirational.
Speaking of inspiration, good music can certainly serve as a carrier. You can be up and down, over and out, and knowing not one thing, when almost miraculously one of today's media sources (in this case an online music service) will direct you toward a previously unknown artist whose music finds your core.
Suddenly, here's this stranger, pouring his artistic passion through your speakers, enriching you, and applying a balm to your wounds.
He is the creator, hoping his music will matter; you are the listener, confirming it does. Together you are a team on a mission.
Once you embrace the sound, once your attention is fully engaged, you are able to listen more closely to what is being communicated (they're called "lyrics") and suddenly your troubles are confronted and made manageable. Your heart seems to lose 15 pounds; the hollow ache dissipates. Long deceased dance moves are suddenly resurrected, emerging passionately from the tomb of forgotten memory to find expression in a competent-but-still-needs-work tribal explosion around the computer room. (Both cats, all attitude when terrorizing smaller creatures, cowardly skulk away, seeking any available cover.) You, however, continue to celebrate your sudden lack of inhibition for the most basic reason: You're having fun!
Reviewers have expressed wonder that Chad has been safely swept to shore by a wave of popular acceptance after years spent sailing on the frustrating Sea of Obscurity.
It has been written that suffering creates perseverance, and perseverance produces character, and character looks always toward hope.
I have a feeling Chad went through much suffering and developed a great deal of character-building perseverance before "Carolina Liar" became a reality, a reality undoubtedly founded upon HIS hope.
Now that Chad Wolf and "Carolina Liar" have arrived, OUR hope is simple:
Stay with us for awhile.
Coming To Terms Poster
After just a four week promo tour of intimate acoustic performances, the first single from Carolina Liar's debut effort Coming to Terms is exploding at Modern Rock Radio. Carolina Liar has also attracted the eyes and ears of MTV, becoming a featured band on the network's hit series The Hills. The tracks 'Beautiful World', 'Coming To Terms', and 'Show Me What I'm Looking for' have all been featured in episodes, as well as the video for 'I'm Not Over' appearing in the show's credit squeeze. In his day-to-day dealings with members of LA's music community, there are two things singer Chad Wolf has heard repeatedly. One involves praise for his songwriting skills, which seem to effortlessly toe the line between infectious pop music and a deeper, darker rock discourse. The other: disbelief. How did this classic struggling musician, who toiled away at coffeehouse gigs for most of his adult life, end up in one of Europe's biggest hit-making studios writing a full album of songs with a major label deal at his side? The story may seem far-fetched, some might even say too good to be true, but somewhere between accolades and accusations is honesty, which, ironically, is what Carolina Liar is all about.Alternative Rock Music CDs
