About Eric Stracener and the Frustrations

FROM THE JACKSON CLARION LEDGER: Local artist Stracener's latest release, 'The Trickbag,' downright sensational By Carey Miller carey.miller@jackson.gannett.com Eric Stracener's debut CD, 2003's Sockeye, was sparse, a mostly solo affair that introduced a promising songwriting talent to the world. For his latest, The Trickbag, Stracener has assembled a stellar backing band, The Frustrations, and has delivered - and then some - on the promise of his debut. Trickbag feels like a complete album with a brilliant, singular vision. The album is not only fantastic for a local artist on a Jackson-based label, it's better than 90 percent of folk/Americana records, period. But that's not to say that Stracener's music is derivative of any trend; drawing from a number of influences, Stracener has crafted an album that's distinctly American but not exactly Americana, Southern but not exactly Southern rock, and pop-oriented but not exactly radio-ready pop. There's shades of alt-country on tracks such as Diamond Round Your Neck, raucous power pop on Sky is Falling, Nick Drake-like folk on Moon Has Two Faces, and the Richard Thompson-style storytelling of Mobile Blues. Yet, somehow Stracener's pleasant voice and virtuosic guitar playing make these disparate style blend seamlessly. Produced by Jackson native and multitalented Nashville-based producer Neilson Hubbard, The Trickbag features an all-star roster of Mississippi artists backing Stracener. The Trickbag is one of those records that won't leave your player for a while, until you've absorbed every vocal nuance, every musical flourish. With music this good, there's no telling what Stracener's bag of tricks holds for the future. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trickbag is available at BeBop Records and www.milesofmusic.com.
