Scott Link` voice is familiar to the fans of his former band, Portland, Maine`s Diesel Doug and The Long Haul Truckers. Link served as the aforementioned Diesel Doug. Shedding that image, Link has created a fantastic album that explores a roots-pop sound without abandoning his country twang. Midwesterners might remember the late, great Gear Daddies. Link channels Martin Zellar`s sound. Link`s stories of hard work and simple rewards resonate with your inner blue-collar. Backed by many of Portland`s finest musicians, Link has created a solo pop rock gem that has plenty of twang and as much heart and soul. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
