Tried & True

This album is missing from your life if it isn't in your regular rotation. I don't have a favorite track on this album, so I went with my favorite track to dance to. This is my favorite album to listen to driving down Ocean Avenue. It flows beautifully, has wide range of style with consistent energy. Shane and Ike are so tight they're loose, and Riley's strings tell stories. Cran's honesty and rawness, darkness, an exasperation tinged by lighthearted optimism... Brilliant. Favorite track: White Lies.

If you’ve never heard Cranston Dean perform before, you’re robbing yourself of an amazing experience. Dean’s voice takes you back to a time when the singer/songwriter played the bars of Asbury during the heydays of The Circuit, and blew people’s minds with their lyrical poetry.
