Latest reviews of the track "What You'll Find" from the new Charlie West CD "I Must Be In The Wrong Place" from The Consensus indie review site: Jonathan Sanders gave a score of 7.25 / 10. Comments were: If this song is any indication, Charlie West has a future in the songwriting business. The opening is simple yet it expresses what the song's going to be. And West has a competent voice, sounding as though he'd be comfortable in both the folk and bluegrass genre. It's an expressive sound, even when he keeps it really low key. The Captain gave a score of 6.41 / 10. Comments were: Folk has both advantages and shortcomings built right in. The advantage is that the lyrics can be heard; this is an advantage as long as the lyrics are worthy of hearing. In the case of 'What You'll Find' what you'll find is they aren't bad - not great, but not bad. The major shortcoming of folk is that the voice is nearly naked, save for the light tracery of an acoustic guitar. This is only a shortcoming when the voice needs covering or the tracery is poor. Neither is the case here. What you'll find with 'What You'll Find' is that the voice and playing are both very pleasant - above average. Short story: nice song, not exceptional, but altogether pleasant, nicely played. The Goat gave a score of 7.66 / 10. Comments were: Either this song cuts off abruptly at under two minutes, or it is edited to be under two minutes ... either way ... this folk song has some interesting elements to it. I am really not sure how to react to it. It's simple, unfettered and uncluttered. It speaks to a different time, but somehow is as fresh to this day, as perhaps it was once - yesterday. It's on auto restart ... it's easy to listen to alot. Okay, there is sound following the 1:51 mark .. good ... I thought I was trippin' again. ;) Christian Lowensprung gave a score of 7.37 / 10. Comments were: A nice and comfortable folk / pop song. Kind of reminds me a little of Crowded House's easy style. Both vocal and guitar fit well together, and help to bring "What you'll find" to where it should be: Calm, floating, dreamy, and solid. Highly recommended download BALTIMORE’S CHARLIE WEST PRESENTS LATEST CD “I MUST BE IN THE WRONG PLACE” West Upholds His Unique Psychedelic-Folk-Pop-Acoustic-Electric Sound In This Indie-Label Release BALTIMORE, MD-Charlie West hits the beat again, this time with his third CD, I Must Be In The Wrong Place. Recorded at Moss Studios in Baltimore, this latest work entices the discriminating listener with West’s typical folk-pop blend, while delivering an electric guitar punch, melodic lyrics and abstract thoughts. Wrong Place offerings such as the lead-off song “Tell Me”, along with “Jennifer Monday” showcase West’s acoustic guitar-picking talent while “Simple” carries a blend of intense electric psych-rock. The eerie wrap-up tune “Rows” treats the listener to West’s introspective nature. Drawing influences ranging from early Pink Floyd to present-day Wilco, multi-instrumentalist Charlie West is the self-proclaimed “Psychedelic Folkster” who lends credibility to the singer-songwriter genre. At age fourteen, West started strumming and by age eighteen began putting words and music together. In 1988, West’s only vinyl release Wasted Time, recorded under the pseudonym “Chazz”, was in heavy rotation at college radio stations in Maryland, Virginia and D.C. This out-of-print album still can be found at used record stores, on the internet and in Brad Knox’s basement. West continued performing and recording in a variety of bands and as a solo artist from 1989 through 1993. His 2001 release, The Charlie West Temporary A.M. Band, and 2003 release, Confuse My Fuzziness, received excellent reviews locally and nationally. In defining this artist’s work, critics have drawn comparisons ranging from Dylan to early Fleetwood Mac, from Love and Rockets to Elliott Smith, and many in between. I Must be in the Wrong Place is available on the Parapsychosis Records label, retailed through CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com) and Tower Records (www.towerrecords.com) and downloadable at apple itunes (www.apple.com/itunes). Lincoln Cross lends his percussive talents while Teri Moss contributes lyrics.
