The Color Green's Rust, a well-crafted, very radio friendly blend of folksy guit
author: www.southofmainstream.comRust - THE COLOR GREEN OK. I feel like I often get on this very same soapbox, but I'm willing to do it again. I don't think there's any reason to cower in shame if you happen to like radio-friendly, mass media marketed bands. I'm right here, right now admitting I like Default and Lifehouse. And though other folks bash them mercilessly, I can and will admit that the girl from Evanescence has a beautiful voice, above and beyond any contempt her chosen genre seems to generate. Should we eviscerate a band simply because they gain mainstream popularity? I don't think so. Some kind of music has to make it to the mainstream market. Because I have a preference for indie music, do I have the right to make fun of, or look down on folks who like, listen to or create a more mainstream sound? Absolutely not. Having said that, I had a great time listening to The Color Green's Rust, a well-crafted, very radio friendly blend of folksy guitar and modern rock. Their sound is comfortable. Somewhere between Nickelback and The Counting Crows, with a healthy sprinkling of REM-style alt-country jangle added in for an extra friendly appeal. Unfortunately the CD case I received didn't have the front packaging, so I can't praise the lead singer by name. His voice is commanding, he sings in a mildly gruff, but always tuneful fashion. He conveys real emotion and he manages to use a repeated expletive as emphasis, instead of it sounding like he's swearing just because he feels he can ("You're No Mistake"). I listened to this disc several times, trying to find a reason, as an indie lover, to make a critical remark. But I really can't. It's a modern rock album, and doesn't make any bones about it. And the album stands on its merits. Well-crafted, well written rock songs, gentled with some very melodic guitar and made double alluring with straightforward, emotionally charged vocals. Favorites: #2 | The Fortunate Ones #9 | Everyone #10 | You're No Mistake Genre: Modern Rock/Americana

The Color Green is painting innovative meaningful music.
author: Laura Turner Lynch for Kweevak.comTHE COLOR GREEN – "RUST": "Rust" is the latest release from The Color Green aka TCG a LA rock band. TCG is Jon Kahn who is the founder, lead vocalist and songwriter. He is joined by John Thomas and Holland McRae on guitars, Michael Grate on bass and Todd Wolf on drums. TCG opened for Creed in LA in October of 2002 and was well received. In addition, their music is getting extensive play on California radio, the Internet, films (Girl) and TV programs (MTV's Celebrity Undercover). TCG's music is a blend of roots rock and adult alternative. Their influences includ Springsteen, Pearl Jam and The Wallflowers. Jon's vocals have been compared to Jacob Dylan's. Rami Jaffee of The Wallflowers was one of three producers on this ten-track collection. Therefore, Rust builds on a Wallflower vibe but is very unique in its own right. Their sound is colorful and additional instruments such as the organ, mandolin and lap steel add deeper shades to interesting well-constructed songs. Jon has husky expressive vocals and the instrumentation is top notch. The opening track 'You Make The Sun Go Down' has a catchy beat, animated vocals and an eloquent guitar fad out. 'Wasted' is a rich blend of reflective slow pace melodic rock merging into hard rock guitar chords, power packed vocals and a high voltage hook line. This and some of their other songs have these interesting contrasts. The Color Green is painting innovative meaningful music and Rust captures the energy and vibrancy of this talented band.
