Brian Fallon
Local Honey
(Lesser Known Records/Thirty Tigers)
★★★★
HAVING blazed an increasingly popular punk-rock trail as lead singer and songwriter with The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon’s first two solo outings were still very much big, chiming rock records, though edging towards a more mature sound.
Local Honey marks a shift in the Jersey Boy’s career. This is music made for introspective late-night listening, swayed along by acoustic guitar, piano, brushed drums and subtle electronic effects.
