"...From gritty foot-stompers to jangly roots and blues belters to acoustic melancholy, Warren's debut brims with a rare and raw musical sincerity-one which proves his aim to be true..."-Gerry Krochak, Vex Magazine, Calgary, CN
"Doublenaught Records recording artist, Monty Warren's freshman release, "Trailer Park Angel", fires off a canon shot with the radio friendly "Lonely Girl" and continues to blast through another 13 tracks. Like Ryan Adams, Tom Petty,Warren wears his influences proudly and loudly...steeped in The Stones...rocking,touching and vulnerable..."- Afterhoursmusicblog.com
"****-From Monty Warren's first chord on "Lonely Girl" throughout the rest of this album, this boy rocks and writes songs that could have,should have, been on the likes of "Exiles"and "Damn The Torpedoes"...[y]ou will love this gem"-www.cdbaby.com

Happy Birthday,Mom!
Today would have been my mother's 87th birthday. In celebration of that fact, I am taking myslef to Raleigh today and will be hopefully attending the opening day of The Durham Bulls with my recently discovered Raleigh brothers.
My mom loved baseball...and The Rolling Stones so I'm also gonna go see Shine A Light for the 3rd time once I hit RDU. Damn that is a great movie for any rock and roll fan to go see! If at all possible, try to hold out to see it in IMAX format-it is jaw dropping, grin producingly good!
Whatever good that happened in my life I owe to my Mom. She was really something else and I devoted much of my life trying to save hers. I will forever be grateful to the friends,family and lovers I had in my life who helped me help her through her very difficult journey and will silently be thinking and thanking each of you for all you helped me to do for her(even if today you hate me like poison)throughout the rest of this weekend.
So happy birthday, Mom and I hope you found a sharp looking guy up there to jitterbug with and that you're laughing all the time.

Memories. Like the Colors of My Mind....
So my ex-wife(who has wisely decided to have nothing to do with me anymore)dropped a bunch of photos from 1979-80 in the mail to me. The envelope just contained a bunch of priceless pictures from my past-when I was in college in Atlanta circa 1980ish. There was a green sticky attached to the back of one which said,"I thought you might want these". She thought right. Since she could have burned them instead of taking the time to send them to me, I am once again in her debt and I am sharing some of them with you, you little lost 13 year old web surfer you. Enjoy-this is what rock and roll used to look like---more or less....
