Don’t let the cover pic of Joe holding a guitar fool you; the man is a talented pianist who also plays most of the other instruments on his record. Last Round’s direct influences might be Billy and Elton, but Genuardi has his own piano rock style, from the bouncy pop of “Time Goes On” to the arpeggiated licks on “Destiny.” Some really nice ballads balance out the proceedings, and Genuardi’s vocals throughout are quite melodious. Last Round debuts a promising artist with a bright future. (joejams.com)
