Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

"Albums should be cousins to one another and that’s how I look at it," says McComas. "It’s all in the same family of music, but it needs to have some diversity. I didn’t want them to hear the same album, but I did want them to hear the same artist. We want to gain new fans, but we don’t want to lose the ones we have."

Product Description

Brian McComas approaches the recording studio with the same commitment to excellence and artistic integrity that he takes to the stage. The result is his new album, "Back Up Again," on Katapult Records. It combines classic such as the Everly Brothers’ "Wake Up Little Susie" alongside McComas originals. McComas wrote or co-wrote 10 of the album’s 11 tracks and produced the CD himself. One of his goals was to create a collection that built on the success of his debut project, yet served up something fresh as well as familiar. "Albums should be cousins to one another and that’s how I look at it," says McComas. "It’s all in the same family of music, but it needs to have some diversity. I didn’t want them to hear the same album, but I did want them to hear the same artist. We want to gain new fans, but we don’t want to lose the ones we have."

I'd almost given up on Country music over the past five years. It seems like all I hear is tired old retreads being trotted out as "the latest thing," but still a few artists like Brian McComas allow me to hold out hope. Back Up Again is the follow up to his terrific debut CD, and though it was a long wait, it was worth it. McComas is genuine. He has energy and feeling. I can't say that every single song is great, but I've never heard a CD (including greatest hits CDs) of any genre in which every single song is great, but there is a lot of good material here. This CD goes hand in hand with the debut without attempting to copy it. This is the guy, and I think he will be for many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sophomore effort that surpasses its predecessor, September 1, 2006

This review is from: Back Up Again (Audio CD)

Brian McComas's self-titled debut album was a nice little slice of pop-country; it didn't take itself too seriously (most of the time), and featured McComas's light-hearted, catchy vocals. However, the album featured very little of his own songwriting; only four of the songs were self-penned.

This is probably the reason BACK UP AGAIN surpasses its predecessor: all but one of the songs were either written or co-written by McComas, who is indeed a talented songwriter--he knows what radio listeners want to hear, but manages to write songs that aren't like the fluff that get played every second. His songs feature both catchy choruses and thoughtful lyrics; the smooth--but not over-done--production seems perfect for radio...too bad it probably won't get played. Because this exactly the kind of smart, borderline-edgy music that radio needs. BACK UP AGAIN is definitely a step up for this talented singer/songwriter.
