You love Rascal Flatts? Brian Littrell? 4Him? Then chances are good you’re going to love new INO Records group 33 Miles.
And what’s not to like? Vocalist Jason Barton has pipes of gold and the power to put behind them to push those country-pop choruses to the stratosphere. Guitarist Chris Lockwood certainly knows his way around a guitar and acquits himself well in his solo opportunities. Keyboardist Collin Stoddard’s fingers supply just the right touch whether providing a delicate bed of notes for Barton to rest on or driving a tune over the top with Billy Preston touches.
And all three of them are cute. And they harmonize real well. And they are endearing in their comments about their mission: “We just want to love on God’s people…and remind the church and ourselves of who we are in Christ,” Lockwood said. Aw, shucks!
So why do I keep thinking throughout this entire debut, “I’ve heard this before”? Because I have. Because I have heard Rascal Flatts. Because I have heard 4Him. Because I have heard Avalon, Greg Long, David Meece, Counting Crows, True Vibe (Barton used to be in that group), and on and on. And this is a real problem.
