About "Open Road"
Open Road is Matt Wahl at his best. Few instruments, pure voice and great lyrics.
-Jack Beaver, host, Spectrum West, Wisconsin Public Radio
Like his previous CD, this deep-voiced Wisconsin troubadour sounds a lot like his hero, Jimmy Buffett. This is simple country/folk/rock music, and Wahl finds his inspiration everywhere: remembering a little room where he used to live, seeing an elderly couple holding hands, and wanting to be Batman. Not just as a kid. He still wants to wear the blue tights. O
.kay. This is laid back, unpretentious songwriting. His live shows must be a lot of fun.
