Spielman, Ron
Lifeboat
Really good rock needs a strong backbone and fine nerves: powerful stability and flair. Ron Spielman has both. The guitarist, singer and composer has been combining filigree songwriting with the lustful directness of rock at the very highest level for over 40 years. His new album spans fine, clear melodic arcs over a rich, unobtrusive foundation. With sharply accentuated riffs and gently swinging choruses , his lyrics illuminate modern society with all its ups and downs - touching and stirringly authentic, massive and delicate, anthemically driving and sometimes balladically intimate.
