Ray Greiche
Everything's Fine (self-produced, 2000)

written by Doug Cornell

Have you missed Mike Nesmith?Ý Look no further, as New Jersey's Ray Greiche has somehow captured the essence of the stocking-capped Monkee's vocal style.Ý Acoustic guitar strumming propels "Everything's Fine," a pleasant folk rocker that echoes simpler times.Ý Greiche's clear voice has a touch of melancholy and country twang, and the chorus's harmonies are very easy on the ears.

"Trying To Get To Know You Again" is a folk-rocker that moves along at a nice clip, featuring solid slabs of electric guitar and a steady beat.Ý It's easy to imagine a coffee-house crowd setting down their drinks to pay attention to this invigorating, upbeat track.

Greiche doesn't break any new ground here.Ý He is solidly planted within the folk-rock style, and will certainly please fans of the genre.
