Four years after the debut album “Moon Over Baskerville” MARTY AND THE PUNCH return with their new album “Walk A Straight Line”. Marty Punch, the brainchild in this project, opened up the sound to more Pop, Rock and Country sounds than on the first album, which was more a Classic Rock record. There are still a lot of Classic Rock anthems like “My Demons” or “Fells Like Heaven” but also great Rock Pop tunes like the classy “Glass Mountain” or the BRYAN ADAMS meets JASON ALDEAN ear candy “Hi To Eileen”. The highlights on “Walk A Straight Line” are the superb title track and the very poppy “Zakopane”, where Singer David Cagle (J.K. NORTHRUP) is showing all his different talents. This guy can rock and sound very smooth the same time! Besides him, this album features guests like guitarists Bruce Kulick (ex KISS), Frank Pane (BONFIRE) or Melodic Rock everywhere player Tommy Denander.

This is a solid release, and it is worth to give it a listen if you like acts like BRYAN ADAMS, ROBERT TEPPER, TERRY BROCK or Pop Rock with Country influences.

If you know the very rare RUSS BALLARD tune “The Making Of The Fire Still Burns” you will totally understand and worship the last track on this album. Great!!!
