Todd Carter sings, plays guitar, arranges and composes much of the material on this mix of rock, folk and indie music. He’s got a husky macho and gravelly voice and he uses it well hear on edgy material like the gospellish “900 Miles” or spiritually foreboding “Angel of Death.” A country feel dominates the intriguing “Hobo’s Meditation” and “Wayfaring Stranger,” while “Black is the Color” and “Ol’ Man River” get a bit murky in the shallows. A bit of a throwback to the 70s, when singers and bands played like they had something to say.
