Steven Rodriguez - The Simple Things
2008, G-Music
The Simple Things is just Steven Rodriguez and acoustic guitar. There is no denying that Rodriguez has a great voice and is adept on the acoustic. What's missing here is a backing band. The songs are decent but there's nothing earth shattering here -- no "Whoa." There is potential however. Rodriguez comes across as a young songwriter here with a lot of talent, but who would benefit from the creative tension that a band can provide. Songs like I Give In and The Simple Things show the talent that exists. It's just a question of a little more seasoning and maybe someone to bounce musical ideas off of.
The Simple Things is a valuable snapshot of a developing artist who may turn into an outstanding songwriter before he's done. Vocally and musically he's there. Keep your eyes and ears on Steven Rodriguez. He's one to watch.
