"If you have ever heard of the band, Sister Hazel, then you've heard Ken Block before. Ken Block is the front-man (if one had to be chosen)of the group. For years and through multiple albums, they have been creating FAN-tastic, age-spanning, feel-good music for the masses...just on a smaller scale. I happened upon them back in the early 2000's (I think) at a local concert venue in my area. They were so good, I ended up seeing them in concert again on 4 or 5 occasions...one of which was a two day festival!
Beyond the great music, they support many different causes and hold events supporting various charities, thus utilizing their fame to help others! (Check out the 'Rock by the Sea' music event as well as the 'Rock the Boat' cruise!)
Rock out to the first solo album by Ken Block, and seek out the Sister Hazel albums that came before. You don't know what you're missing!"
Great Discovery

"I'm glad I discovered this album. I almost feel a little bad that I'm getting it for free because it's such good music. Ken's voice is great. This is my first review on Amazon and I'm leaving one because I really think you should support this artist and I really enjoyed the music."
A great find

"I always check the free downloads because you never know what great new music one might find, and BAM; I found Ken Block. A really great find. Although; he's listed with Sister Hazel, and is being compared to counting crows; I thought he had a more Tom Petty kind of sound. That Rock/Country sound he does (but without the whiney voice of Petty). A good combination of music and lyrics makes "Drift" a winner in my book."
If wanted a Sister Hazel CD ...

"I for one like Solo releases of folks I know of and while I do like and enjoy Sister Hazel's sound, this cd is filled with gems. The vocals are strong and I do love the way his voice sounds. I look forward to more of from him. True the lyrics may be a bit more grown up than some of the groups releases but thats what makes it so nice !!
I dont think you could go wrong for a free CD. It's placed high in my current playlist.
However I will have to admit that I enjoy the upbeat tempo of Drew Copeland's CD ( a Sister Hazel member as well )also found on here,
Free at the moment, Look for it !!!"
Surprisingly Good CD...

"This CD has cought me off-guard. I was ex[ecting maybe 1 decent song and the rest throw-aways (because it was a free download)..Man was I wrong, this CD has like 6 good songs and no throw-aways. This is a change of pace for me music wise but I really enjoy the sound (kind of a cross between Tom Petty and Hootie and the Blowfish). If you get the chance, take a chance on this CD."
