TOMMY STRAZZA – The Model Citizen LP (Red 5 Records)
Listening to Tommy Strazza is like listening to a history lesson of rock &roll. It kinda sounds like what rock music would have been if the money grubbing corporations hadn’t gotten their hands all over it. No, this ain’t indie or alternative or anything like that. It’s plain old rock &roll. The album starts out with “You’re Not the Only Show,” a real swingin’ tune that sounds like it could have come out an early rock band from the 50s in the south, with a real rockabilly flare. “SensoryOverload” is more modern, sounding sort of like an 80s Elvis Costello pop tune up…
