gb Leighton:  "It's All Good" (Moonsong)
by Vickie Casey

Barroom mainstays gb Leighton have been entertaining crowds with covers and originals every Wednesday night at Bunker's in Minneapolis.  With this, the group's fifth record, Brian Leighton and the boys don't stray far from the "heartland" rock and pop that has been their calling.  "Most Important Night of My Life" is a tip of the hat to Martin Zellar; "Trouble With Sophia" and "Red Dress" are sonically richer pop-rock songs.  And these guys have the chops to pull off what they lay out - musically and vocally.
