Title: A Diamond In The Rough
Product review: Jim Greer's Rover Songs is a testament to what independent record making can and should be. Heart felt originality and the album's refusal to stay put in predictable stylistic ruts make this CD one to be played again and again. The well crafted songs and great sounds give Rover Songs an appeal close to that of any big name, major label artist on the scene today. Styles heard on the album range from pop melody to brooding Pink Floyd darkness to country-rock to piano ballad. Jim pulls them off with ease and still avoids the trap of being immitative. If Greer continues to produce work as good as this he'll surely become on of those major artists. As soon as the mass listening public gets a load of Greer and his music there's no telling how far his music will take him.
