Fact #108025

Here's all you need to know. Our Jim will be promoting this album with gigs at Harley Davidson bike festivals across Europe. Yes indeed, Stapley purveys muscular blues-rock for men with hair in places where most folks don't even have places. Produced, immaculately of course, by the legendary Tony Visconti, the album starts with No Good Reason, a sturdy Free-meets-Stevie Ray Vaughan hurricane of testosterone, drops down into the acoustic boogie intro of Laid To Waste, introduces the lush orchestration and falsetto wails during Heartstrings, pulls out the urban lovelorn anguish in New Religion. Nothing new, but if you like this sort of thing, you'll love this.
