“Fragile” by Bo Ramsey (Rock artist from Iowa (IA))

"Fragile" by Bo Ramsey is an excellent Americana, folk rock CD full of tracks that paint vivid pictures around Bo's excellent songwriting. Bo's deep, raspy vocals nicely stand out in the mix and softly, yet effectively deliver the powerful lyrics on this CD. As you would expect from an artist with Bo's impressive credentials, this CD is totally pro in musicianship and production. The music features Bo's outstanding, yet subtle guitar work. The production nicely layers the instrumentation to provide a rich, deep sound. The tracks that we checked out have an ambience of a smoke-filled room and a man who has been there and done that. "Tell Me Now" features some nice electric guitar licks, and a powerful, visual lyrical message that paints a gloomy picture. "Burn It Down" features an interesting tremolo guitar sound, outstanding songwriting and a passionate vocal performance that effectively delivers the strongly visual lyrics. If you enjoy Americana and/or adult folk rock, and the work of master songwriters, you'll enjoy this CD.
