Ringenberg- Great American Songwriter,
Jason Ringenberg once again delivers his unique style of rock, country, and folk music on Empire Builders. There are some pointed political statements on songs such as American Question/American Reprieve and Rebel Flag in Germany. The latter expressing what so many southerners, such as myself, really feel about that damn flag. He makes sure the rock gets back in the equation on Link Wray. Eddie Rode the Orphan Train is a hauntingly beautiful song written by the talented Jim Roll. Hell, there aint a weak song on this one. If you like Jason's previous records, you won't be disappointed. Personal favorite is Tuskegee Pride about a black fighter pilot in WWII. Half the Man, written for his father, is honest expression about what matters most in this life. In this day and age of focus group driven radio and here today/gone tomorrow one hit wonders, there are still gems out there like Jason Ringenberg. Go to his website-www.jasonringenberg.com and pick up a copy.
