4.0 out of 5 stars
3-1/2 maybe? Fun, tounge-in-cheek alt-country, December 4, 2003
This review is from: So (Audio CD)
Known in the art world as "The Flagman," Ab Ivens is a Georgia-based alty-tonker with a (pardon the expression...) colorful past... The colors are red, white & blue, and they're placed on a bunch of kooky art sculptures, many modelled after the American flag. He also has a nice way with a country tune, and while his singing may not be entirely enthralling, his songwriting is consistently intelligent and engaging. A few really good songs on here, including "Drunk & Crazy" and "Too Early To Leave," as well as a nice cover of the old Leroy Van Dyke hit, "Walk On By." Not earthshaking, but nice. (For more about his visual art stuff, you can check out the band's website: www.xmissamericas.com.)
