Matt Andersen – Bold & Beaten (Own Label).
This six track EP is an excellent introduction to New Brunswick’s Matt Andersen. He opens with the Country and Gospel influenced Come By and if this doesn’t whet your appetite then nothing will. Something In Between is old style Country but it still has that Gospel feel in the background. His velvet voice and superb guitar technique will have you clamouring for more; it has been said that he is one of Canada’s finest guitarists. Bold & Beaten (Acoustic) is New Country this time and this is a lovely, well executed song. Tell Me is a bit of Blues, a bit Rock n Roll and a bit Country. It sounds as if it doesn’t know where to go but as Andersen unleashes his guitar you don’t really care. So Gone Now is acoustic and has the now familiar smokey voice. This is gentle and shows his talent for a poignant lyric. Broken Man is more of the same and I could just listen to that quintessential voice all night.
