Brian Fallon - Local Honey CD

Brian Fallon's "Local Honey" is a must-have for any fan of folk-infused Americana music. Released on March 27, 2020, the album showcases Fallon's growth as a songwriter and his ability to spin stories into songs that are both personal and universal. The album's title is a nod to Fallon's New Jersey roots, and the music is a tapestry woven with threads of country, rock, and blues.

As the lead singer of The Gaslight Anthem, Fallon developed a reputation for his gritty, Springsteen-esque vocals and his ability to craft anthemic rock songs. With "Local Honey," he shows that he's equally adept at writing intimate, stripped-down ballads that are just as powerful in their quiet moments as they are in their big crescendos.

One interesting fact about the album is that it was recorded in just six days, giving it a raw, live-off-the-floor feel that perfectly suits the songs' themes of love, loss, and redemption. As Fallon himself puts it, "It's a record with characters trying to find their way. People who lost their way and people who are trying to make their way. You can't go back, but you can still find that love and redemption." All in all, "Local Honey" is a standout release from one of the most talented singer-songwriters of his generation.
