CD Review: "The House Rules" - Christian Kane




CD: "The House Rules"
Artist: Christian Kane
Release: 2010
Label: Bigger Picture



There's a new sheriff in town named Christian Kane and he's packin' some of the hottest music since Jason Aldean made the scene. "The House Rules" is a  Saturday night party waiting to be shut down by the cops because your neighbors weren't invited, it's just that good. I wasn't sure what to expect, never heard of Christian or his music until he was scheduled to perform here at our local Winterfest celebration so I thought I'd check him out. Where the hell has he been hiding? Music like this should have been out long before now and he should be one of those artists saturating radio right now. Wake up radio, enough of the same old people, Christian Kane is a prime example of a well needed change in your playlist. 


From the first screams of the harmonica and banging on the drums on "The House Rules", you have no doubt in your mind that this cd was worth your money, one you won't stop listening to anytime soon. My feet were tapping after the first 2 seconds and my whole body was moving to this one (and that's not a pretty sight but in this case, who cares? I can't help it!). It's one of those songs that those around you at a stoplight are gonna hate because you've got it cranked up to 11. Screw 'em, it's a party in your car! He mixes the right amount of thump with the right amount of smooth throughout the entire cd. I rarely like an entire cd, but this is an exception, I didn't hear a song that didn't grab me, whether it be to turn up the volume and do some head bobbin' or to turn it down, turn out the lights and just enjoy the ballads. Great debut cd, Christian, very impressive. I hope to see you around for a long time and I hope your label does you right by promoting your fantastic music Oh yeah, you're rocking those Wranglers too!


 Listen to it, love it, tell others about it!

Glad you found his music and like you said it's hard not to feel something when you listen to what he has to say. Welcome to the land of the Kaniacs

Glad that you've found Christian's music and are enjoying it. This cd has been a long time coming, and it was definitely worth the wait! I'm totally in love with his version of 'Fast Car'.
