Albums Dean- Just another dude

Press Reviews Review by smallhall.com Dean Acevedo has released his first (but surely not his last) CD entitled 'Dean - just another dude from Montebello (East of E.L.A.)', which contains only five songs. But what songs they are! Dean starts off with 'Girl U Drive Me Crazy', featuring a great pop/rock beat with great harmonica parts scattered throughout, not to mention a killer, rocking guitar break, and lyrics like "I'm going looney, looney tooney, like a little kid....". This leads into a lovely song, 'Hold On Chi ld (Your Daddy's Coming Home)', which also contains an amazing guitar break and beautifully written lyrics, "Your Daddy's coming home tomorrow, he'll make everything all right. Little girls shouldn't cry, they should laugh and sing and play. Your Daddy k nows that this is true, but he can't be here with you today." From here we hop straight to Dean's Mexican roots with this reviewer's personal favorite 'Como Friegas Mujer', a totally irreverent, wonderfully written and produced totally Hispanic style so ng with fantastic accordian and lyrics like "Como chingas mi amor. Dejamen paz por favor. You know I love you, but, hey, there's just so much I can take!". Now we go country with 'Jail For Christmas'. This is a great song! Slide guitar dominates this tu ne, "I'm in jail for Christmas. I guess I screwed up once again. I feel so bad and so darn lonely. I miss my family and my friends." And Dean ends with 'She Talks Incessantly', ending with the same pop/rock attitude he started with. All in all, this revi ewer thinks Dean Acevedo has done a wonderful job showing his many talents, his big, clear voice, incredible guitar playing, and production talents are all extremely obvious in this great debut CD. I see wonderful things for Dean Acevedo in the very near future!
