‘The Mess That Money Could Buy’Brian Lisik
(Cherokee Queen)
It’s been six long years since we last heard from Ohio-based singer/songwriter Brian Lisik, who cut his teeth fronting Giants of Science in the late 1990s and later went on to record a pair of rock-solid solo albums. “The Mess That Money Could Buy” is in the run-ning for best album title of the year and the 11-track collection of guitar-centric tunes makes for an equally enjoyable listen.
Opener “Small Town Royal Family” sets the tone, and after treading water for a little while with the so-so “Change on Your Own” and “To California,” Lisik hits his stride with keepers “Longest Day of the Year,” “Nights in Shining Amore,” “Five Other Rooms” and “I Want to Go Home.”
Here’s hoping Lisik won’t take six more years for his next album.
