hooks and a slow burning intensity, Gene Owens has put together a record that holds the subdued anger of rockers like
Staind and the vocal style of hard rockers like Alice in Chains' Layne Staley, but still knows how to hold to a restrained groove and simple metaphor. The ghostly pedal steel on "Some Things Never Change" and the piano on "Not the One" contrast well with the full-out Connells rock of "Chance" and the acoustic intimacy of "Hollywood." As he grows in experience and notoriety, Gene Owens will surely become a notable name in the world of rock songwriters."
