Dean Strickland, Some Girls To Blame

Genre: All of them! (believe it or not)

Dean Strickland plays everything! This whole cd is him and a couple of other guys, all playing several instruments, with synths and drum programming. And it's actually really good. I'm surprised I haven't heard him on the edge yet! The music, (all twenty-four songs!)  is very wide-ranging, from alt-rock (Please Tell Me That I've Suffered Enough, I'll Remember You Always (And The Irony), I've Learned), to blues (She's got problems, Some Girls To Blame, There's No One As Beautiful As You), to classic rock (Rachel, I'm Very Sorry, The Charge Of Loving You) to punk (I'm Wondering (Are You Paranoid), I Love You) to country (If You Want This To End).
...and that's just the first half of the CD!
    Most of the songs are love songs, in one form or the other. Can't stand the suspense? Buy his CD and hear the other half!

For a diverse, well-made album, I give Dean Strickland's Some Girls To Blame a *** (of 4).
