Guitar Player magazine praised the album--a powerful mix of blues, country and rock---for showing "compelling 'other sides' to the Godsmack frontman, such as his forays into country, Motown soul, bossa nova, and even orchestral pieces" (8/18/16). A confessional and raw work, HOMETOWN LIFE offers an intimate view into the emotional roller-coaster of life, marking a stylistic left-turn fromSULLY's first solo album Avalon as well as the music he creates as frontman for the multi-platinum rock group Godsmack. OnHOMETOWN LIFE, SULLY explores his own eclectic musical tastes--from singer-songwriter Billy Joel/Bruce Springsteen, to the bossa nova touch of "Take All of Me," to the breezy island feel of "Your Own Drum," and the finger-snapping Motown bass lines of the bluesy"Turn It Up,"--which features Sully's 71-year-old musician fatherSalvatore playing trumpet-as well as the wide-screen canvas of mini-symphonies such as "Blue Skies" and "Forever My Infinity."
