Live Review Goodwin and Chatterton
A great night of live music at club Broncos with Chatterton opening  the show with a tight alt country sound playing  ballads with an up tempo beat as front man Kevin sang  melodic lyrics.  This gave a unique mix to the music.  Chatterton  hosted 3 guitars, a lap steel and keys which made for a very big sound.
Most of their tunes had a similar sound, which is not a bad thing; it just means the band is developing a sound of their own.  Chatterton  ended  their set with a rocker Rock -N- Roll Will Never Die. I dug the lyrics " It's Better to burn out than fade away ."
    Next up to end the night Goodwin.  This band has been around for many years.  They were originally called Bendil.  After a line up and sound change, we now have a much more powerful and meaningful artistic group.  Goodwin has grown and developed into one of Dallas/Ft. Worth's best pop rock radio bands.  On this night they mixed their great hits off their current CD like Matt's Letter and also introduced several new songs which will be on their upcoming CD.  One that particularly caught my attention was titled Grace.  The lyrics "I am waiting" sung by lead singer Tony really left an emotional impact on the crowd.  Daniel on guitar was exceptionally hot this evening with his signature style of playing a mixture of power chords and leads.  The guys also pulled off some incredible harmonies displaying once again why they've earned the right to be called the best pop rock band in DFW.
