“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”

“Listening to Brian Lindsay’s sound, you get the sense that his musical coming-of-age arrived at about the same time as Bryan Adams. Big rock anthems. Or you can imagine him ripping the cellophane off of a brand-new vinyl copy of Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness on the Edge of Town and, halfway through side one realizing: This is what I want to sound like when I grow up. Now all grown up, Lindsay celebrates the release of his excellent new CD, The Monkey, The Tango and the Boogaloo, at 9:30 p.m. Friday at Abilene Bar & Lounge, 153 Liberty Pole Way. The Springsteen comparisons aren’t new to Lindsay. His 2005 album, The Crossing, drew similar responses. That collection’s highlight, the achingly torn “East Side of the River,” a love story of the Genesee -- Lindsay lives on Irondequoit Bay -- could have been an outtake from Springsteen’s The River. But quite frankly, if you’re working some well-defined turf, echoes of Springsteen sure beats Ted Nugent.”
