Best Albums of The Year!
Jay Miller/ Patriot Ledger
Boston, MA
``STILL STANDING STILL'' by KEVIN CONNOLLY (www.kevinconnolly.com) Don’t class this Connolly album among the folkies; he’s mostly backed here by a quintet led by co producers Chris Rival (guitar) and Ducky Carlisle (drums) and it’s as rocking as any John Mellencamp or Ryan Adams album. Marshfield native Connolly writes with precision and heart, his admirable economy of words nonetheless hitting the emotional target like a laser. Check out tunes like ``Everything I Wanted,'' ``Can’t Feel the Rain,'' and ``Undefeated'' and ask yourself if you’ve ever heard better crafted songs. If Connolly didn’t have such a good ``day job'', he’d be considered among the nation’s front rank of songwriters. As it is, he’s just another New England treasure.
