Michael McDermott's deep, throaty vocal tone calls to mind Bruce Springsteen, and in some places he even sounds as if he might be attempting an impression of the Boss. If his debut album, 620 W. Surf, doesn't quite equal Springsteen in the maturity and depth of its songwriting, it does demonstrate considerable promise. McDermott's acoustic-based roots rock, which employs heavy doses of harmonica, organ, and piano (including a guest performance by another famous Bruce -- Hornsby), yields some memorable tunes.
