It’s o.k. to wear your heart on your sleeve every now and then. It’s o.k. to put it all out there. It exemplifies a certain type of bravery to allow raw emotion to take over because the risk you run is a lack of reciprocation. You risk be shattered like a piece of glass meeting a hammer for the first time. It becomes doubly dangerous for the artist who puts both his emotions and his influences on such vivid display. But the payoff when it all clicks, the pureness of it all, is as refreshing as a tall glass of water on a steamy Summer evening. Just ask Connecticut’s Brian Dolzani, because on his newest release, A Place That I Can Feel, he’s accomplished just that.

Dolzani can also craft some surprisingly catchy melodies. While he seems to effectively clone Neil Young in the rocking “Whether or Not,” I suspect songs like “Sail This Sea,” “Before Goodnight,” and “Autumn in Central Park,” songs that deal directly with relationships, seem more honest. They are all three melodic gems that will stick with you. And come to think of it, so will “Whether or Not.” [more]
