DESCRIPTION "First one Free"
by Mark Bilyeu

a Review by Amy Producer of Collected Sounds

"Antique Dreams" is a nice pop song. It reminded me of Matthew Sweet but has a more classic/southern rock feel.

"Don't Need So Much" and "Money" are more of the classic rock style.

"Finally Free", "Backwater" are downright country.

"Home in the Country" is also country-ish but it's more of a ballad. Lots of use of the slide guitar. Well done.

Other than the first song, this CD is not really my cup o' tea, but I can recognize that he's talented. If you like the sort of music he does, you'll probably like this recording, as it's clear he's very good at it.
