His lyrics won't change your life, but Kellogg has a great ear for a catchy hook.
A little bit Ryan Adams, a little bit Springsteen, a little bit alt-country-lite.
When Stephen Kellogg’s major-label debut dropped in 2005, the Boston songsmith was poised for a commercial breakthrough . . . but it just didn’t happen. But thanks to a sizable fan base and a relentless touring schedule, Kellogg’s new disc has an audience waiting to listen. Delving deeper into personal emotional terrain with his most honest songwriting yet, Kellogg waxes between despair and acceptance, with vocals mixed so high he sounds like he’s seated right beside you. The 11 new tracks bask in a ragged musical blue-collar glory from fuller alt-country arrangements that avoid unnecessary gloss thanks to production by Whiskeytown’s Mike Daly.
