Album Review

Toy Soldiers might be loosely classified as a roots rock act, but if so, they're on the less rootsy and more eclectic side of that genre. There's some gospel, some soul, some folksy rock, and some jazzy R&B of the Young Americans-era David Bowie, with none of those influences dominating the mix. While he's not the only writer and singer in the band, Ron Gallo's songs and vocals are at the forefront. As odd as it might sound, his singing sometimes recalls a more down-home Lou Reed and, when the warble is more pronounced, Marc Bolan, though on material more aligned with American roots music than either of those artists featured. Though both the music and lyrics are earthy, the songs sometimes detailing wanderlust and struggle, the mood is pretty jovial, often coming off like a Southern rural hoedown with a fuller and more electric band than such things are wont to favor. There's a bit of a revivalist flavor to some of the vocals and arrangements as well, though without specific religious connotations.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic album

I must say that there is not one track on this album that I didn't enjoy listening to. This band is young, fun, and very talented. Their sound is a beautiful combination of passionate energy and soul. These guys know what they're doing and they're doing it very well. :)

Originality at its best!

The new album, "Whisper Down the Lane," by Toy Soldiers is a fresh slice of Americana during a time where music seems to have shifted to lots of keyboards and laptops. Their fusion of Country/Bluegrass with an Indie vibe is nothing short of innovative and original. There isn't a bad song on the record but I must say my favorite track is number 5 called, "Be Right Here." There is something about the female vocals and here actual melody that just draws me into the song. "Whisper Down the Lane" is the perfect summer release and I can definitely see the music being played in a laid back, country style bar on a warm summer evening. Their music is perfect to drink a cold beer to on one of those types of nights! I would highly recommend picking up this album ASAP as it is some great music that you won't regret buying!

Fun and Heartfelt Album

I absolutely loved this album! Toy Soldiers are so honest in their lyrics and music, it's hard not to fall in love with them. I think that they can appeal to everyone because they blur lines between genres and don't really adhere to one concentrated style. Whisper Down the Lane is able to tell a story to the listener and is able to hold the audience's attention throughout the entire album. I hope they keep up the amazing work!
