The Other Side of Kindness
- Artist: Collin Herring
- Year released: 2005
- Genres: Alt-Country / Americana, Rock
A more layered and sophisticated affair than its (nonetheless fantastic) predecessor Avoiding The Circus, Collin Herring`s sophomore effort reflects the growth of a band that`s honed and tightened its sound with touring and time. Produced by Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Neilson Hubbard, Modest Mouse), The Other Side Of Kindness confidently rocks with enough distortion to stick the knife in, and just enough pedal steel to twist it around. Collin`s writing harnesses everything from insightful, dark and rootsy mini-epics to crunchy guitar pop, all invigorated with great melodies and visceral, effortless hooks. His dad Ben Roi returns, contributing a mean pedal steel to the mix. Collin`s been tagged by many as the torchbearer for what`s going right in the world of alt. country, and this innovative and heartfelt effort continues to redefine the young Texas country-rocker.
