Bootleg
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This album is a big tribute to Joel Pierce, a musician going to Greenville College that was killed in a dormitory fire. The idea for the album is awesome, but the tunes don't stand as tall - at least in the hard music category. There's some funny moments of Joel on the radio and a really cool parody about Joel's music collection put to the music of the Lost Dogs' "Breathe Deep." There's one emo-ish hardcore attack on here by Genuine Chili with cool dynamics. There's also a song that Joel wrote that Larry Norman recorded with brother Charles.
