Happy Hour with the rockin' return to Abilene of...
BRIAN LINDSAY BAND

If you're a fan of Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Steve Earle and Warren Zevon, you've gotta see Brian Lindsay!!!

“She’s my little crash, boom, bang!” Testifies Brian Lindsay on the opening cut, “What Does Love Mean to You,” from his just released, GFI Music CD ….. The Monkey, the Tango and the Boogaloo. The eleven cuts created, corralled & cut in Rochester, New York feature wasteland guitars, keys, sax solo’s, powerful vocals, and “all in” harmonies. Go deep as contained within this ambitious release are themes, grooves and rockin’ rhythms … accessible to all. The Monkey, the Tango and the Boogaloo should predictably land a chart position on today’s radio as did the previously released East Side of the River (The Crossing) and King of the Mountain
ALBUM REVIEW: "The Monkey, The Tango, and the Boogaloo"
By FRANK DE BLASE rochestercitynewspaper.com
The record company is going to have to front me another copy of Brian Lindsay's "The Monkey, The Tango, and the Boogaloo," because I ate the first one. No shit, I got done with the preliminary spin, smeared some peanut butter on it and ate it. Good records call to mind comparisons and metaphors, but only the truly great ones can be called delicious. Lindsay is one of my favorite singers of the hardcore troubadour ilk and he comes out thundering on this new album's first track — and my new fave — "What Does Love Mean To You?" like a runaway tractor. "The Bully" is a tres cool tug-o-war between Jersey blue-eyed soul and straight-up rock 'n' roll. "Everyday" is a classic example of urban Americana; a "just right" blend of red clay and asphalt. "Seven Days Seven Nights" with its snake shake and voodoo is a new harder rockin' side to Lindsay, I've only, up to this point, heard live. The man even gets down with a pretty piano ballad toward the end of the affair with "King Of Broken Hearts." "The Monkey, The Tango, and the Boogaloo" is an 11-song send up to an era when LPs were enjoyed front to back, not just as collections of potential hits. This is a work of art I highly recommend you spend some time with. In fact get two; one to share with a friend ... or eat.
