JOE JERMANO
"Dreaming in Color" (Onamrej
Records; 2017)
Reviewed by R. Scott Bolton
"Dreaming in Color" is a solid rock album by Joe Jermano, a veteran rocker with several albums under his belt. It's simply a collection of seven rock songs in the vein of John Cougar Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen with a harder edge, maybe closer to Cheap Trick.
I have to admit, when I first received the album to review, I thought it was another guitar instrumental album which are often very good but are very hard to review. I was pleased to discover that the tracks on “Dreaming in Color” are actual songs, with vocals. Each has an attractive melody, a driving rhythm and features the vocals of Mr. Jermano, whose voice work matches his guitar work.
"Dreaming in Color" is pure, unadulterated, straight-forward rock'n'roll, and I loved every minute of it.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
