  • Reluctant Saints "Long Drive" Album Review
    PRLog - Global Press Release Distribution Reluctant Saints "Long Drive" Album Review Should you buy this album? With a quickness. "How will Reluctant Saints be Live? Phenomenal! Do not miss a live concert or show from these guys, and ladies--when you hear Brian Cameron sing live, he'll buckle your knees like a cheap lawn chair. Jan. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Tuesday, 04 January 2011 03:57 Written by Giuseppe Colato The long awaited, highly anticipated album "Long Drive" from Atlanta, Georgia's Reluctant Saints is finally here-and well worth the wait! A Song by Song Tour of "Long Drive": 1-Blue Ridge Baby--(written by Brian Cameron) My Take; "Blue Ridge Baby" comes right out of the gate with a lead guitar solo that blends right into the funk/country/rock/pop groove of the song. Then comes Brian Cameron laying down funky-soulful vocals about a girl that "is everything to him." The song is about getting back to your girl--your perfect girl, and nothing will stop you from getting back to her. The song then breaks into a short and sweet guitar solo that blends right back into the song's groove. Rock solid drums, sweetly layed down keys and a bass line that never stops groovin. This song is one of those songs that can make it on many a different chart--so much so, it makes you want this "Blue Ridge Baby" that the song is about. This will end up one of the most popular songs off of this album. It just has that "it." 2-Shine On Me--(written by Brian Cameron) My Take: This song comes right out of the gate with some sweet slide guitar that brings in the pop/county groove.

In fact, there isn’t much about this release that would lead you to think of destruction at all. Not that it is all pretty music or anything like that.
