I never listened to the band Tonic. Emerson Hart came to me from a recommendation. I found the title incendiary. The cover with this impish face and a cigarette dangling looking down his nose was fascinating. The music supercedes the packaging & is excellent. The title track amazes and ranks up with classic songwriters like Paul Simon. The strings give the midtempo track an epic flavor with haunting lyrics, "I am trolling the ocean for the soul of my father; Heavy sand kicks water and makes like a ghost; He's waiting for me." "Green Hills Race to California" is a slow ballad with Emerson's vocals high & hushed with a slight rasp that reads as personality, "Warm nights & your sweet magnolia." "Ordinary" glows with rocking energy from a songwriter who loves to ask questions, "How did I become responsible without ever taking responsibility? How did we become so ugly without ever changing anything?" "Devastation Hands" & "I Know" are both excellent tracks. Hart rocks and at times wafts in a more reflective mood. "Cigarettes & Gasoline" is an excellent disc that fully delivers on its promise. Enjoy!
