Review

Rolling Stone (10/02, p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Less rootsy and harder rocking than previous efforts..."

Title Note

Tonic: Emerson Hart (vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, piano); Jeff Russo (acoustic & electric guitars, slide guitar, Fender Rhodes piano, string synthesizer, background vocals); Dan Lavery (acoustic guitar, piano, bass, background vocals).

Additional personnel includes: Will Hollis (keyboards); Joey Waronker (drums); Lenny Castro (percussion).

Recorded at Plantation Mixing & Recording, Haiku, Hawaii and Henson Studios, Hollywood, California.

HEAD ON STRAIGHT was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Album. "Take Me As I Am" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance by A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

Let's get one thing straight from the outset; no, Tonic is not Third Eye Blind or Matchbox 20. They have neither the secondhand-Counting Crows affectations of the former nor the whiny vocal presence of the latter. Like those bands, they do mix classic rock, alt-rock, and straight-up pop in equal measure, and they do so in a winning way. The opening track "Roses" finds the trio (with drumming ballast provided by sideman supremo Joey Waronker) bursting out of the gate with all guns blazing, all post-grunge guitars and high-octane vocals. In contrast, "Count on Me (Somebody)" is an amiable pop-rock tune with an instantly hummable chorus. One of the band's most distinctive aspects is its occasion predilection for a rootsy bent. The aptly named "Irish," for example, with its mixture of Celtic flavor and pounding rock rhythms, brings to mind perhaps a more polished version of the Pogues (or at least Flogging Molly). While their sound is consistently cohesive, it's the absorption of these varied influences that helps to set Tonic apart from its modern-rock peers.
