Guide Review - J. Collins - J. Collins

J. Collins is an independent country music artist from New York with a true passion for writing his own music and doing everything he can for his fans. His album shows that, even without all of the polish and shine found on major-label releases. I can only imagine what one of his concerts would be like - entertaining to say the least. I'm interested in hearing the music he releases in the future.

Right off the bat, the first song, "Party Of Our Hats Off," reminds me of something Chris Cagle or even Tim McGraw would sing. It just has the fun vibe to it and sounds well-suited for the radio. Though the man's friends thought he was content with being alone, he confesses that "From the First Time" he met that special lady she was all he ever thought about. In "You and I," J. Collins sings about not seeing eye to eye on every issue but he still knows they were meant to be together.

"Uncle Johnny's Karaoke Bar" is another fun song that would sound great on the radio. It has an upbeat honky-tonk sound that makes it hard not to want to tap your toes or move around a little as the music plays. The best song on the album has to be "Where Are The Angels." The emotion in J. Collins' voice as he sings about a woman's rough life is absolutely incredible. "With only voice, she felt so all alone. Where were the angels to carry her home?" he sings. It has a bit of a rock sound to it, which only adds to the intensity of the lyrics.
