"While some have stopped at saying that the Solid Goldsteins were a Replacements-influenced band, a brief listen to their one and only full-length release will reveal them to be significantly more..." -Matt Fink, All Music Guide
Editorial review
Sounding equal parts Tom Petty and John Lennon, with a lot of country twang mixed in, Brady Harris has perfected a brand of roots rock that is pleasantly out of step with most of his contemporaries in the alternative country scene. Harris is an impressively polished songwriter, boasting big melodies sunk in dark chord changes, delivered with a versatile voice that frequently seems at its breaking point. As much as tracks like "Fading" call to mind the more brooding quality of early Lennon solo recordings, Harris just as easily slips into barroom country in the comical "Anthrax Blues" and "Drunk With You." The absolutely gorgeous folk-pop of "I'll Miss These Days," employing strings and utterly sweet chord progressions, is highly indicative of the range of influences Harris produces as a songwriter, as he possesses an eclecticism similar to that of Jeff Tweedy. All in all, these songs have outstanding staying power, as Harris' substantial talents lift him well above those with whom he will be categorized. ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
AMG REVIEW: While some have stopped at saying that the Solid Goldsteins were a Replacements-influenced band, a brief listen to their one and only full-length release will reveal them to be significantly more. While those comparisons certainly can be drawn, with tracks like "Have Another Fight" showing a remarkable similarity, the band incorporates a nicely varied sound that goes beyond that categorizing. Although they do provide a similarly high-energy attack, the twangy guitar and nice harmonies of "Jewelry Box" show a definite country-rock influence, as many of the tracks are even somewhat laid-back, incorporating the occasional country guitar lick. "Throwaway Rocker" has a definite Rolling Stones vibe, while "Happiness" rolls along like a light-hearted George Harrison solo track; this is a band that was obviously capable of wearing a variety of hats. The raucous anthem for struggling bar bands in "Empty Bars" is bound to find sympathizers among those who've traversed similar routes.
↓ more ↓It was also on this release that principle songwriter Brady Harris showed the songwriting chops that would show up on his solo work following the Solid Goldsteins breakup, with the sparkling "While She's Away" being reprised on his debut solo album. So, in the end, the rough around the edges approach and solid hooks made the Solid Goldsteins a band whose demise should rightfully be mourned. -- Matt Fink, All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com)
