BlackHawk Album: “Love & Gravity”

Just last week I felt like getting a new CD. I wasn't very familiar with Blackhawk but remembered I liked "Postmarked Birmingham". Now I can't stop listening. There's not one song that's less than terrific. I'll be in line for tickets if they make it back to Seattle.

When an album like this comes along, you just gotta grab it. Tremendously talented songwriters Henry Paul, Dave Robbins, and Van Stephenson and even road-man/lead guitarist Dale Oliver take turns penning tunes on this record. The title track "Love and Gravity" is reminicent of the band's debut single "Goodbye Says It All." "She Dances With Her Shadow" is just beautiful, and "Postmarked Birmingham" by all rights should have been a #1 smash. If you love music for music's sake, don't miss this album!

These arent just well-hung men in tight fitting jeans.Blackhawk serves up first rate country on this, their third release.Especially noteworthy are the singles Hole In My Heart (which evokes vintage Huey Lewis) and Postmarked Birmingham. Check out their previous releases too, while you are at it!

This album was a strong, emotional, but more upbeat answer to Strong Enough. Their classic harmonizing is as good as ever, and we get to hear a poignant song from non-lead singer Van Stephenson. If you are pondering a possible first Blackhawk CD purchase, this one will definitely not dissapoint!
