Album Review: Harts - Breakthrough

StarStarStarHalf Star

"He takes a much more virtuosic approach to the guitar on the remaining three tracks, filling them with Hendrix-style guitar solos."

More Harts Harts

Melbourne singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Darren Hart brings something brighter back into rock music on his latest release.

While the stomping funk of the title track sounds heavily inspired by Mark Ronson’s recent foray into downtown sounds, it’s all the more noteworthy that this is the work of one man. In the vein of classic self-produced ‘70s singer-songwriters like Shuggie Otis, Harts handles all the playing himself. When A Man’s A Fool is heavy on the riffs, while he takes a much more virtuosic approach to the guitar on the remaining three tracks, filling them with Hendrix-style guitar solos.
