I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, New Southern, from Justin Cody Fox and it's strong set of well written rock and radio tracks. Opening with Living Ghosts, Justin Cody Fox sets a solid rocking opener on guitar and vocal. Backed by Fred Eltringham and Seth Aldridge on drums, David Morse and Robert Kearns on bass, Jen Gunderman and Rhett Huffman on keys and Tarsha Murphy on backing vocals. Bluesy ballad, Take Me Home Virginia, has a great melody and shows strong radio appeal. Show Me Your Light really kicks it with a driving drum beat and piano. The vocal is perfect for radio and with it's super hook. My choice for top radio track. My favorite track on the release is heavy footed Walking These Blues, with just the right tempo and a rock guitar riffs. Fox's vocals are super with full vocal backing by Murphy and the track is full of attitude. Very cool. Wrapping the release is rural Old Man Rest, a simple ballad duet between Fox and Murphy over acoustic guitar. This is a solid closer for a solid release.
