Kerzner. Dave - Heart Land Mines Vol. 1 (2023)

The sixth album from this artist from USA.

Dave Kerzner did the percussion, acoustic guitars, keyboards and lead vocals here.

He got help from numerous guests who added drums, bass, guitars, bouzouki, sitar, strings, horns and vocals.

I reviewed his fourth album, the 2017 album Static some years ago and that was a good album. His 2022 album The Traveler passed me by, though. 

Dave Kerzner had his breakthrough as a member of Sound Of Contact. He co-wrote their debut album together with Simon Collins, the son of Phil Collins. A great album and that gave him lots of other session work. 

The music on this album is a mix of americana and progressive rock. There is some Kansas and some Genesis influences on this album. There is also lots of mainstream rock on this one hour long album. Music that most of all reminds me about the last albums from Electric Light Orchestra.

The quality is decent to good. There is no sparkling great songs here and most of the music is meandering and pedestrian. 

It that floats your boat.....
