Title - 'Nights at the Surf Motel'
Artist - Håkon Høye

A dash of soul, a pinch of gospel, a spoonful of blues and pint of good ol' Rock 'n' Roll perfectly captures the ambiance and spirit behind the just released Nights At The Surf Motel (via Big H Records), Håkon Høye's sophomore album.

Filled with originals penned in collaboration with long time co-writer Bill Troiani, the magnificent 10-track album is steeped in classic Blues, Rock and Americana; but the lyrics are contemporary.

Ergo, what we get is rather much a noir love affair of anticipation, longing, good times, lost love and, of course, turmoil.

1. 'Junkyard of Dreams'
2. 'Stay Awhile'
3. 'One Floor Down'
4. 'Good Thing'
5. 'You Must Believe Me'
6. 'Sweet Sugar You'
7. 'My Darkest Hour'
8. 'Time Will Tell'
9. 'Wastin' Time with You'
10.'Nights at the Surf Motel'

Kicking things of in mighty fine piano blues style, up first is the foot-tapper 'Junkyard of Dreams' which is backed by the balladeering of 'Stay Awhile,' the uber funky 'One Floor Down,' and then both the slow-poke grind of 'Good Thing' and the Motown-esque, finger-snappin' beauty 'You Must Believe Me.'

Next up is the mid-tempo crawl of 'Sweet Sugar You' which is followed by 'My Darkest Hour,' which brings Høye's impeccably honed guitar skills to the fore.

The album then rounds out with the buzzy dusty Americana road cut 'Time Will Tell,' the jittery lo-fo funk of 'Wastin' Time with You,' and then comes to a close with the late night, smoky underground bar, blues-jazz fusion, 'Nights at the Surf Motel.'
