Justin Roth: Now You Know [LP]
(May 1, 2011, Colorado Music Buzz)

Justin Roth engineered, produced, played and sang every song on this 11-track CD that is due out May 17, and overall it is really a pretty impressive disc. Roth is a guy who decided to take a break from "seven years of constant, self-promoted nationwide touring" to live in a small home with a wood-burning stove in the foothills outside of Fort Collins sans Internet access and cell phone service but with a bit of recording equipment. What you get is very heartfelt and moving. I'm not saying that his lyrics are to die for, but they do hold meaning and he seems like a guy who is the opposite of someone who carries his cards close to his vest: He is putting himself out there and you kind of have to love that about this Now You Know. He is not lacking in talent as far as acoustic singer-songwriters go. His voice is nice to listen to and he is more than able on guitar. You just want to be in a certain mood to listen to Justin Roth because, although he is very candid and genuine, in the end it is pretty much mellow-city, emotion-laden music. You just want to be in the right frame of mind for it. Then you'll dig it.
