MUSIC FARMER 5 - Review by Wolf Georgia
From the Heart of Michigan to the Soul of Los Angeles
As the autumn leaves begin to fall, the music world is destined to be set ablaze with the imminent release of HARRY HOCHMAN's upcoming album, "Inside Out", slated for October 6th, 2023. From the Motor City to the City of Angels, HARRY HOCHMAN's journey is as intricate and captivating as the melodies he crafts.
The title track, "Inside Out", showcases HARRY HOCHMAN's musical prowess. The song commences with a guitar symphony reminiscent of the golden era of rock. As the folk-indie drumbeat takes over, one can't help but be transported to a time where music was the very essence of rebellion and freedom. HARRY HOCHMAN's voice, echoing the fervor of Tom Petty and the tranquility of Neil Young, seamlessly blends with harmonies that are reminiscent of the Eagles at their prime. The lyric "It’s burning - from the inside out" is not just a line in a song; it's an experience, a feeling that resonates deep within the soul.
"Wherever I Go" is another gem, a track that will undoubtedly find its way into countless playlists. Its rhythmic cadence, reminiscent of modern rock legends like Brandon Flowers of The Killers, is both infectious and evocative.
However, the crown jewel of the album is "Caryville". Available now on streaming platforms, this single is a masterclass in storytelling. With a vibe that channels the legendary Bob Dylan, HARRY HOCHMAN paints a vivid picture, taking listeners on a journey through a magical land, all while swaying to a mesmerizing drumbeat.
HARRY HOCHMAN's roots in Michigan, combined with his adventures across the globe, have given him a unique perspective that shines through in his music. His transition from the grind of Michigan's industries to the complexities of law in Los Angeles - and finally to the liberating world of music - is nothing short of inspiring. His sound, reminiscent of Detroit's own Glen Frey, coupled with the lyrical depth akin to Jackson Browne, makes for a musical experience that is both nostalgic and refreshing.
