In the tradition of solo artists such as Paul Westerberg and Ryan Adams, Boylan’s 2006 offering of “Slave” is a statement of endurance and resolve. Combining the liberties of full-fledged rock-n-roll abandon (“Slave”, “Last Knock”, “Lucky Shoes”), with the wry musings and grainy soundscapes of the more traditional singer-songwriter (“Elizabeth”, “Twistin’ in the Wind”, “Fist full of Wine”), Boylan has created and eclectic and vibrant work – an homage to all those young enough to recall the sweat and smell of the local bar, but old enough to know that there’s more to life than just that. Pat Gill (drums), Steve DeVita (bass) and Chris Moreno (guitars, mandolin, accordion) round out this latest project – all great musicians who, like Dave, don’t take it all SO seriously…after all, it’s only rock-n-roll.
