Chris Chesney brings his veteran cross genre skills to the table in his album "Easy Street." The overall sound is reminiscent of those fun, feel good songs of the early 80's. Chris' lyrics are fun and his guitar-playing and songwriting are impressive. The arrangements are jazzy / bluesy in a bubbly sort of way and there's a lot of instrumentation and professional production in these tracks, to add a nice depth to the recording. There is also a cool mix of modern dance music thrown in as well. Finally, the female vocals are a nice complement to Chris's effective, raspy vocals. Highlights are "Cool Water," which starts out with a long, sexy instrumental segment that builds into a strong, sexy groove that nicely matches the lyrical theme of the song. "Time is Running Out" is another parcticularly noteworthy track with a brief synthesizer intro that builds into a full groove and a memorable chorus with strong female backing vocals and keyboard counter part. If you are a fan of catchy songs with a strong groove, that cross rock, pop, and even R&B, you'll enjoy this CD.
