I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Year of Pain, from Robert Stoner and it's a reflective, folksy, rural collection of ballads. Opening with Just a Riverboat, a cool folk ballad duet with vocal and violin accompaniment by May Elise, Stoner shows clear songwriting talent and good balance between vocal and accompaniment. Nicely crafted, Holy Grail, is one of my favorite tracks on the release with a haunting melody, nicely blended vocals and guitar work. Another solid track is Hear Their Voices with a strong melody and subtle backing vocals behind Stoner's lead vocal and guitar. Wrapping the release is title track, Year of Pain a solid ballad and it's reflection on today's issues.
