Tourmaline
"Take equal parts of George Harrison's pop rock ethereality, the sweet side of Paul Westerberg's songwriting and the sleek classicist rock'n'roll of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and you have a hint at the riches within Kevin Carroll's Tourmaline. It's a seductive tour de force that plays more and more like one of your all-time favorite albums

Redemption Day
Effortlessly blends soul, pop, rock, country and Celtic into a distinct sound that has been favorably compared to The Band and the Jayhawks. "Country/Stones-tinged, radio-ready pop. Freedom's Gram Parsons." -Austin Chronicle

AMG REVIEW OF REDEMPTION DAY- * * * * 4 stars
AMG REVIEW: On his excellent debut album, Kevin Carroll displays a pleasing variety of styles within an Americana/roots rock framework. The guitarist — who is most often compared to the late Gram Parsons as well as classic rockers like the Rolling Stones and the Faces — can fashion great pop tunes, like the opening selection, "Learning to Crawl," or draw from the folk stylings of artists like Bob Dylan or the Band, as shown on the album-closing "Ballad of the Sad Clown." The Austin-based band exhibits a Texas blues swagger on "Ain't Through With You," while songs like "Ropes & Trees" lean more toward country. Meanwhile, "These Chains" is soulful, while "Swine" shows a touch of Celtic resembling the Pogues. The ballad "I Just Can't Fall" shows Carroll taking on a John Lennon-like intonation in his voice. The songs are definitely geared toward album-oriented rock, as half of the ten songs exceed five minutes in length, but, this is easily overcome by the variety of styles which make this album a rewarding listen. — Steven Jacobetz
