Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll Radio?

"Joe D'Urso wants to know what happened to rock and roll radio. Sounding like The Boss with his story songs and emotive voice, D'Urso has some fun with the state of radio (particularly on "Rock and Roll Call") and with intros by a number of DJ's who haven't forgotten what rock is about. (Go Vince Scelsa!)The songs are definitely reminiscent of a time when rock had emotional weight. Not perfect ("The Ballad of Townes Van Zant and Hawkeye Pierce" is a bit of a stretch) but with memorable songs like "Numb" and "Rock and Roll Station" this is nice collection of rock that means something to the band and to the listener."
