tell me that isn’t the coolest album cover you’ve seen in a long, long time!  Chad Kichula‘s self-released debut “The Killer” owes much to Johnny money lyrically, even if the music is much more for saloon brawls than moping damaged hearts clubbers.  I’ve listened to this album directly with twice already, as well as I liked it even much better the second time.  The man’s been making music because at least 2005, as well as his craft feels road-tested.  Whether it’s fast-moving cuts like “Over Me” as well as the title song, or slower, gentler acoustic tunes like “Old Miner Road,” Kichula produces environment as well as mood immediately, immersing the listener–he’s not just singing a song.  He’s painting a picture.

Great stuff. inspect it out.
