"Island," a recently released album by Kirk Armstrong captures the relaxing ambience of soft rock and hints of country. As a one-man show, Armstrong really puts his musical talents to work. His vocals are soft and mellow and are able to glide through the phrasing of each melody. The harmonies are accurate and add flavor to the lead vocals. Solid snare drum hits keep the rhythm moving on "It's All I Ever Wanted" while the organ plays steady chord progressions. There is a nice incorporation of synth horns on "It Won't Matter," which play bouncy hits to this catchy upbeat tune. This album is well-produced, as the sound quality of both the vocals and instruments are clean and show great precision. Kirk Armstrong's "Island" is well worth hearing especially if you're a fan of musical groups such as the Eagles or Phil Collins.
