Autor: Branimir Lokner

Iz Providenca, Rhode Island, dolazi singer/songwriter Joe Fletcher i njegov Wrong Reasons sastav. Aktivni su već neko vreme kontinuirano, a 2007. godine objavljuju prvi album naziva “Bury Your Problems”. Fletcher je nakon izlaska pomenutog dobio određena priznanja i dobre kritike, nakon kojih je nekoliko puta pravio duže turneje širom USA. Krajem 2010., sa bendom realizuje drugi po redu album “White Lighter”, na kojem se našlo 12 numera. Fletcher je songwriter i trubadur sa old-fashioned šmekom, ali u tekstualnom pristupu njegove teme dodiruju tzv. mračniju stranu – depresivnost, lošu sreću, težak život, neuspešne realizacije i sl. Sa druge strane, muzički sa grupom isporučuje snažan i jasan country rock sa jakim rocking and rolling uplivima, koji više stilski nalikuje nekoj priči iz ranijih vremena.

“White Lighter” je sačinjen od ujednaćenog materijala, koji realistično otkriva mogućnosti Fletchera i grupe, i na kojem se nalazi nekoliko vrlo pamtljivih songova.

Ocena: 8 / 10

Out of Providence, Rhode Island comes a singer / songwriter Joe Fletcher and his Wrong Reasons band. Fletcher is a old-fashioned troubadour and musician, whose carrear is continiously active a several years. He has received a respectabile recognitions and critics with his first album from 2007 year, entitled “Bury Your Problems”. A few times with his group he toured around state and at the end of 2010 year, he has released a second and still actuelle album – “White Lighter”. He sing about bad luck, wrong decisions, hard living and bad times, but musically, he and his band deliver a strong country rock sound, with many honky-tonk and rocking and rolling includings, with additionals of some so call old school flavours as well. “With Lighter” is a CD with mainly equalizing materials, generally positive atmosphere, and some pretty repeatable songs.
