Home Away from Home

After the twenty-five song double-plus-album Daydreams, Matt Adams and the Blank Tapes return with the all-roaring no-boring full-length Home Away from Home - ten songs of full-band Kinks-plus-Creedence roots-rock 'n' roll that sounds like it came out of a roadhouse in Luckenbach, Texas, even though it was recorded on Matt's very own 8-track in a bedroom in Oakland, California. After three albums, fans know he's at home playing solo and playing soft, but on Home Away from Home, Matt's got his Telecaster turned up. When he's destroying, he's Lou Reed or Neil Young telling the cops to get lost, and when he's desolate, he's Leonard Cohen or Ray Davies wondering how it feels when a heart starts and stops. Home Away from Home is Matt's Loaded, Matt's Lola Vs. Powerman and the Money-Go-Round Part 1, Matt's Rust Never Sleeps or Matt's Cosmo's Factory - the kind of album that electric guitars are designed to make.
