"Jamison Covington is back on his own with a wonderful new project. E for Explosion offers simple yet very powerful song arrangements. A must have for anybody!"

"And with a really unfortunate "band" name, easily confused with a prog-noise group. Most people would know him from Jamison Parker, why not just use "Jamison"?



Anyway, he's still young and sounds like it on this good CD of rock ballads. There's nothing here that really stands out as his signature sound, indeed you can hear influences all over the place, even Asia in the "Behind Every Breath" lead up. I hate to bring up the GGD's twice in one day, though how can you avoid it in songs like "See You Soon", which if you told me was Rzeznik I'd have no reason to doubt it. Even if Covington is a Doll ballad clone, he's a darn good one, this CD is very pleasant. But I have to wonder what he would sound like if he dropped the jangly acoustic guitar and punched it up a bit, because I parted company with the Goo's when they stopped rocking. Nevermind, my tastes aside, this deserves to do very well.



PS: You have to love the Azon description. Cure? Joy Division? Uh . . . are you sure you listened to this "Explosion"??"
