Bruck is an alt-country heartland rocker to be taken seriously. Since moving from Ohio to Nashville in 1999, the singer/songwriter has worked with producer, drummer, backup vocalist Lonnie Wilson to get his gritty music heard. “Whiskey, Women & Rattlesnakes” is Bruck’s seventh album project, and its original compositions convey a lot of dynamic energy and powerful playing. The title cut is a cautionary tale that conveys a father’s solemn admonition to a young man setting out to discover life. “If God Was” addresses the tough and hard life down on Church Street, and that song provides some thought-provoking speculative questions to contemplate. Bruck’s concern for the working man’s life is clearly evident, and his most definitive songs are those that strive for some social commentary rather than catchy country hooks. “Ain’t Gonna Be Easy” deals with unemployment, disillusionment, and limited opportunity, but it tells us to remain optimistic because hard work should pay off. Songs like “Hard Time” and “This Life” succeed because of their straightforward emotional messages and concern for finding the right path despite some references to alienation and despair. The locomotive “Still Learnin’ Bout Love” shows us that Bruck is still on a curve full of conviction and willingness to be the best he can be. His sturdy, confident sound will only continue to build his solid fanbase. (Joe Ross)

Hello JB,
Recently I received the Acoustic Rainbow Roots Radio Volume 39. By having a quick listen to the songs, this one from you kicked me out of my shoes. Your song will be on my forthcoming week 32, 2011 program, which I compile for ECMA-Radio (European Country Music Association). Do you think it's possible to get your full album "Whiskey, Women & Rattlesnakes" for airplay?

Is he Country? Folk? Rock’ n’ Roll? He keeps listeners guessing with his genre bending ways. “What is it? I tend to think it’s Midwest rock’ n’ roll” says Bruck.

But don’t mistake his latest release “Under the Moonlight” for Mellencamp or REO Speedwagon. It ain’t that. Think John Prine or Steve Earle with maybe a little Southside Johnny tossed in on a couple tunes for spice.          - The Other Paper
