True Believer - Bouncy, roots-rockin' ditty seems custom-made for cranking at peak volume while cruisin' down the highway with your best buddies. Singer Larry Poindexter infuses the song with an urgent, engaging blend of romantic idealism and antsy wanderlust that is complemented by tight, if some what sparse, instrumentation. Factor in a fun, sing-along chorus and you have an excellent programming choice for triple-A formats. For those who care, the band's lineup includes popular "General Hospital" actor Jon Lindstrom on drums. but this one could easily be sold without exploiting that information.

LA-based The HIgh Lonesome is a bouncy, rootsy, rockin' band that straddles the fence somewhere between pop and Americana. In fact, there is already an impressive collection of Americana stations supporting the project. But The High Lonesome's energy and solid sense of song, not to mention their great singing and playing, also qualifies them as strong contenders for Adult Rock airplay (they will remind you of a raw Eagles). As a note of interest, the band's drummer is none other than "General Hospital"'s Jon Lindstrom.

Ragged but right, sparse alterna-country production and yelping, caught-up-in-emotion vocal are perfect for Americana playlists. Unlike so much country product, this actually sounds like a real, live band, pumped up and roaring in the heart of the night. Go, boys.

They've been kicking around California's Southland for some time now, but with the release of, and the strength of the lead track, "True Believer," The High Lonesome are picking up friends and supporters wherever they turn. Loaded with straight ahead rockin' pop with a touch of rootsiness thrown in, tunes like "Pauline," "Lone Star," and the wonderful harmonies of

"Black & Blue" make this disc very appealing. And if you're a fan of General Hospital, you'll recognize drummer Jon Lindstrom as Dr. Ryan Chamberlain.
