Cam Penner & the Gravel Road: Get Up

By Clint Weathers.

Review from Freight Train Boogie:

Americana doesn't have to come from America, and Canadians Cam Penner & The Gravel Road prove it beyond doubt. These are songs written from the experience of life. The opening track grabs you right off with the Rhodes piano licks and brings you into Cam's life, and you won't leave until you've suffered through bad relationships, bad jobs, and shared in the joy of life. The songs are longer than the usual 3:02 radio fare, but well worth the extra minute or two each. Highlights include the shuffling "Gravel Truck," "Met Her On A Monday," and the heart-wrenching "Drunken Fights."
