Emerson Hart
August 1st, 2007 | by Scott |Since I get 90 downloads a month on eMusic I don’t buy a whole lot of music on iTunes. But when I heard this incredible debut album by former Tonic front-man Emerson Hart I had to have it.
The album is called “Cigarettes and Gasoline.” The title song deals with his father’s still unsolved murder when Emerson was a boy. The entire album is full of heart-felt emotional lyrics and some stellar arrangements.

Here is the promotional video for the album where he talks about the tunes and you can get a better idea of the quality of the songs:
Give this guy a listen.
