Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
It’s so easy to listen to “White Daisy Passing” and dismiss Rocky Votolato as yet another Iron & Wine clone–albeit a very good one. But that’s far from reality. Listen again, and it’s apparent Votolato is an accomplished singer-songwriter unafraid of volume or emotion. Most of his work is much bolder and more accessible than Iron & Wine–but not in a way that makes this album pedestrian.
RATING: 2 SOUND LEVELS.
