    Artist description
    These are tracks from a project of mine from a few years back. I always loved these songs and never had them released. Many others have told me that they love them too so here they are for the anonymous world to enjoy - who knows, maybe someone will want to publish them or use them for something. Thats the deal - enjoy

    Artist History
    This "band" was really a conglomeration of the the talented musicians I worked with while performing in Hawaii. I wrote and produced this album "The Rob Holzer Project:Savior" and I play all the keyboards, some of the guitars and sing.

    Press Reviews
    I thought this was the funniest review I've ever gotten!! Anonymous "Apr 12, 2001 at 00:21:38 Rob Holzer - 'Mootie Man' Straight away with the piano stabs, I thought 'supertramp'. That feel becomes less as things progress.A groovey little rocky number about scoring a hit after work I do believe. Think florida keys, duplex apartments, hawaiin shirts, dodgy handgun bearing columbians driving slick cars, washed out slightly overexposed film. Think 70s. Think piano, hammond, distortion guitar, girl backing vocals - when they had those extended bands enclosing several familes. I'm convinced Rob has one of those floppy dog haircuts and a big droopy moustache. This was enjoyable and well put together. Totally on the genre. Production all there. Vocal fits in a kind of Clapton-esque way. I'm a sucker for those backing vocals. No groundbreaking originality in here but it doesn't really ask for that.Marks:Commerciality: 6.5/10 The time for this has passed, BUT...a bit of inventiveness from a producer on this and you could catch onto that whole 70's mixed with dance wave that's been on for the past 2-3 years. Club remix, if you know what I mean...could be interesting...Production 7/10...well...actually I can't really fault what's there, but I just feel something quite 'current' could be done with this...maybe I should say production 8.5/10 and producer inventiveness 6/10...be interesting to hear this straight without any effects or mixing.Delivery 8.5/10 It's all there really. One or two places maybe the lead singer's phrasing could be tightened, but it was very small and possibly adds something too....Personal... 7.5/10. i enjoyed. It's kind of a tongue in cheeck affair. bit of messing and it might not be out of place on a Guy Ritchie film...whatever happenned to Burt Reynolds?"
