Dartmouth hero Baldwin continues to forge his own solo path apart
from his duties in the Matt Mays band. On his latest six-track EP, he
vividly describes the price rock 'n' roll can extract. The songs come
from a dark place, as he was kicking the destructive habits of substance
abuse, and he poured it all out, not holding back in his words or
intensity.
Able to view his addiction from the
outside, Baldwin gives the other guy, his dark side, a voice in the
story as well. In Salvation, he tempts Baldwin in the cold church
basement, while he sits at a 12-step meeting. It's raw, loud and scary,
like the stories the members were telling, and that constant voice in
the back of his head.
