"Tug Of War" by Highway 9

This little-known band from New Jersey carries a torch for Bruce Springsteen but sounds more like The Eagles. They used to go by the name Samhill and Mr. Reality, the latter having made one of my favorite records of all-time. Stay tuned until we get to the M's for more on that album.

Highway 9 released "What In Samhill?" in 2002, and it sounds like a proper follow-up, albeit somewhat inferior, to their work done as Mr. Reality. But tracks like "Tug Of War" below and "Between Your Eyes And Mine" and "Say You're Mine" are pure acoustic rock bliss. The band's trademark harmonies are terrific and I wish we would have heard much more from them.
