Stan Swiniarski Goes To Mexico

Artist: Stan Swiniarski
Title: Mexico
Genre: Country-Rock-Pop
Label: Up Cellar Music

Stan Swiniarski sounds like the guy down the street you meet at a local gathering or a company picnic. Well, that could happen but this Stan has a lot more going for him than an every day event like that. His album Mexico offers 13 tracks of country-rock-pop gems to tickle your fancy and bring a tear to your eye.

Normally I cannot stomach music like this, seriously, and that is because of the main stream over kill of artists like Shania Twain and the like, however this man has his act down and its all natural, you get the real deal with none of the frills.

One song after another made me smile, laugh, and get all filled up with emotion on the verge of tears. "Instructions" is about the mystery of women and how men don’t have any hope of ever understanding the opposite sex. "Bud" is a riot! Stan sings about how he could deal with the divorce but not the kidnapping of his four-legged friend. He waxes prophetically about the how the dog kept him warm at night while he slept on the couch after a fight. "I’m Home" was the clincher for me, I just fell apart inside, thinking about my childhood and how my kids will fondly remember their time as children. This is real life stuff folks and the music is simply a perfect fit for every song.

If you like Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Rogers or similar artists, you will love Stan Swiniarski. This guy has gotta be the real deal, he didn’t even change his name. Great American music from the heart delivered right to your door, it’s just like having a milkman again, and that brings back such sweet memories. Thanks for all the great music and memories Stan you really touched my soul.
