Albums External Forces-Refugee Highway

Press Reviews CD Review: External Forces (Independent Records)Tony Hornback by william Bartley Tony Hornback has written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered a recording of 13 original songs and two Leonard Cohen covers for his album titled External Forces. On Hornback's original tunes he weaves tales of characters in isolation and contemplation. Their stories are of both internal and external struggle. The emotional content ranges from love and joy to depreciative self-loathing and pain. The theme of the album is self and one's perception of self. The fourth track, "I Am The Wilderness," is a scenic monologue where Hornback sings, "I am a refugee from myself sorting out destiny." Another track expounds on the theme and contemplates one's destiny in such lines as, "there has got to be a reason to be here / Like the leaf on the tree". The album takes a musical turn with the playful melodies of the first of two instrumentals. In "Left of Time," the principal voice is a toy piano. Hornback plunks its melodies along with child-like meter and ease, but in a contemplative key. The second is "Not So Lucky" and seems a bit contrived compared to "Left of Time," with programmed drum fills and out of nowhere guitar riffs that don't have much of a story to tell. One of my favorite tunes on the record was "Smile." The opening piano riff caught my toes tapping immediately and the simple message of "come on everybody smile and have fun" was a perfect chorus. It was also Hornback's way of painting a frame of light into a picture that can be very dark - the one of self-discovery. william BartleyLouisville Music News
