American Standard
"Better Than Fiction"
|
American Standard is an excellent bluesy hard rock outfit from the Midwest featuring blues/rock stratmaster Chris Aaron on guitar and the awesome soulful vocal power of Corey Sterling on vox. The "Better Than Fiction" disc features 13 tracks of first-rate, dynamic, soul-powered, organic, bluesy guitar rock with world-class vocals to match that will groove your blues away. Chris Aaron is an awesome, top-shelf, blues-rock axeripper whose tasteful bluesy heavy guitar riffage stands up there with the best of them. Those of you familiar with the rather excellent "Freedom 5 Miles" disc will agree with us on that one. Corey Sterling is a soulful rock vocal God. Best known for his vocal work with Kenny Wayne Shepherd and the aforementioned "Freedom 5 Miles" album, he lays down the top-shelf, soul-powered, bluesy vocals with unparalleled style and class on "Better Than Fiction". Brother Corey is a rock vocal force to be reckoned with. With an emphasis on real songs, the combination of Chris Aaron's guitar and Corey Sterling's vocals are a perfect match made in soulful, blues/rock heaven. Tune in at all costs.
