Where the Hell Am I?
Slipstream
To be honest, I was completely unimpressed the first time I heard this. As it turns out, the subtleties in Where the Hell Am I? don’t come out until the second or third listen, where you can begin to pick up some of the interesting melodic and lyrical things going on in the record. For the most part, the music here sticks to conventional instrumentation and rock/ballad/folk arrangements, but a couple of moments stand out, such as the langourous “Ain’t It Hard” and the rollicking “Reverend Maddog.” Slipstream Productions, P.O.
