Chuck Maiden's debut. 14 solid tracks. California folk-rock with some British Influences. Neil Young meets The Wallflowers.
Editorial review
Adult pop in the tradition of Neil Finn and Michael Penn, Chuck Maiden's debut album consists of 14 low-key but quietly appealing pop songs. On the surface, songs like "Two Planets" and "Won't Be Lonely Anymore" sound kind of like standard-issue AAA along the lines of the Wallflowers -- although somewhat bizarrely, on "You Are an Angel," Maiden sounds quite a bit like Jakob Dylan's dad -- but a closer listen reveals that Maiden is a graceful lyricist with a sharp eye for poetic detail; songs like "Stun Me" and "Overtime Love" are built on unexpected metaphors and sly wordplay that recall Elvis Costello and Squeeze's Chris Difford. Musically, the album is slick but not soulless, with enough melodic heft and catchy hooks per song to keep it interesting for those who care to listen more closely. Although perhaps not the arrival of a stunning and unexpected new talent, Morris Road is an entertaining listen that hints at more interesting work still to come. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
One of 2004's DIY Music Festival Honorable Mentions, Chuck Maiden has released his debut, "Morris Road", on his own Lorne Street Records. Self-produced along with friend and singer/songwriter, Bill Reveles, Morris Road is blend of folk-rock and contemporary pop. Songs range in mood and tempo, holding the listener's attention throughout-from the Paul Simon meets Brian Wilson beauty of "Glad" to the British pop-country of "Overtime Love". Chuck is backed by some great players: Bruce Watson on electric guitar, Dave Salinas on drums, Jorgen Carlsson on bass and Arlen Schierbaum on piano and Hammond organ. The album was mixed by the well-respected Talley Sherwood and mastered by Grammy-winning Gavin Lurssen at The Mastering Lab. "Morris Road" is receiving considerable airplay across America and Europe.
Chuck, who was raised in Canoga Park, California, started playing guitar at age 11 and soon after, joined his first band. At 18, he began composing.
