Kevin Mulvenna
Home Is My Harbor
Muskego’s Kevin Mulvenna may be a
Parrothead, but he's an unusually reflective and tuneful one. As his
album's title indicates, he's comfortable—if a tad wistful—in the
domesticity that comes with being a husband and father. His country/folk/pop
amalgam meshes well with tales of past carousing, current responsibility
and the tension between the two. Production assistance by John Inmon
of Texas folk-rock crazies The Lost Gonzo Band adds a commercially
approachable sheen to the proceedings that could serve Mulvenna well in
garnering airplay. Even if he doesn't ascend to the heights of his
Margaritaville hero, Mulvenna's heartfelt, catchy songs are sure to
resonate with others coming to grips with similar life experiences.
