I Am the Ghost CD Review by Radio Indy
Just one listen to "I Am the Ghost" by the Baltimore based Fools & Horses and you will quickly see what all the buzz surrounding this band is about. Their sound is a highly original blend of classic and modern rock that is polished and radio-ready. The entire album is characterized by strong lead vocals and energetic guitar riffs, coupled with powerful drumming and solid bass lines. The production is raw and simplistic, giving the music a distinct sharpness and edge. The songs are well-written and performed with an enthusiasm and spirit that shines through on each track. "Anna Was the Enemy" is a strong opener, displaying their hard-rocking sound and captivating hooks. "Wide Eyed Wonder" and "Finally Out of My Mind" are also exemplify Fools & Horses' moving lead vocals, spirited guitar work and gifted songwriting. Tracks such as the groove oriented "Selfish" and the acoustic "Maybe I Could" provide depth and variety to the album, showcasing the band's creativity and versatility. "I Am the Ghost" is well worth a listen if you enjoy classic or modern rock, and will have you singing along in no time. -Rodney and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team

Baltimore Examiner by
For a band that has yet to transcend provincial fame and achieve widespread national recognition, the most recent album by Fools & Horses, "I Am The Ghost," exudes so much musicality and craftsmanship that one is forced to wonder what it is that could possibly be delaying the group's seemingly inevitable transition into national notoriety. An incredibly solid album, Ghost is packed with songs that will fight to get stuck inside your head. Although vaguely reminiscent of the works of singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson, there is an important distinction to be made between the two in terms of the tone and tempo of their respective compositions. While Nathanson tends to remain on the somber side of the musical spectrum, Fools & Horses are dangerously inclined toward the catchy and the upbeat. The album's title track, "I Am The Ghost" – the slowest and most melancholy of the bunch – could easily be mistaken for a Nathanson track, however, as it features a haunting vocal melody that is driven by lyrical imagery of nostalgia and loss. Likewise, "Calling You Out" is a heartfelt expression of longing and hurt that begs to be sang along with. But the group shines far brighter, and is clearly more in their element when operating in the medium of the highly-energized rock tracks that comprise the majority of the album. The song "Selfish," could easily be interpreted as a subtle tribute to the hard-edged, slightly minimalist sound popularized by the White Stripes, with its thumping bass line and powerful vocals. "Concessions of the Cheated" has less crunch to it, and brings to mind the works of groups with definitively more "pop" than "edge" (somewhere in the neighborhood of The Strokes or Phantom Planet, perhaps?). In spite of these likenesses to other artists though, Fools & Horses have definitely begun developing a musical style that is all their own; one which is surely capable of being embraced on more than just a local scale. Guitarist and vocalist for the group Steve Herrera was forced to chuckle when he acknowledged that "I Am The Ghost" does contain an abundance of disgruntled love songs on it, and feared that this could potentially serve to portray the band as some sort of "He-Man Woman-Haters Club." But the persistently lighthearted, and sometimes dare I say "cheeky" qualities present in the band's songwriting – even in songs as directly anti-feminine as "Anna Was The Enemy" – will, in the end, most likely save the group from any such negative classification. Ultimately, "I Am The Ghost" is a fantastic album by one of Baltimore's most talented local groups. It is readily available for download online through several trustworthy vendors, including iTunes. After playing multiple shows in New Jersey and Washington DC, Fools & Horses will return to Baltimore to play a New Year's Eve show at the Downtown Hilton on December 31st. But in the meantime, if you live around Baltimore and appreciate up-tempo alternative rock, then this album is certainly a must-have addition to your musical library.
