Album Notes
Audio Mixers: Mike Napolitano; F. Reid Shippen.Photographer: Glen Rose.Life is full of comings and goings, meetings and leavings, happiness and heart wrenching sorrow. Former Tonic frontman Emerson Hart has been touched by them all, and on his debut solo album, Cigarettes and Gasoline, he delves deep into life's constantly shifting currents. The title track is the most obviously autobiographical, as the singer/songwriter conjures up his hometown childhood, and its sights and smells. Its an achingly lovely song, shrouded in nostalgia, sorrow, and with a flicker of hope for the future. "Green Hills Race for California" is wrapped in yearning, this time not for a father taken away far too soon, but for friends and a lover of old, while the equally evocative "Vanity" muses over the future. Like most of us, Hart isn't sure whether he's ready to run toward it or away from it, and romance leaves him similarly conflicted. On the infectious, rocking "Run To" he wants more, on "Devastation Hands" he's the giving one. Shifting persona on "If You're Gonna Leave" he's damn cold, yet on the lush "When She Loves You" he's head over heels over love. Inevitably, though, relationships end in tears, as "Flyin'" describes, yet when love runs aground, how much better to both walk away with dignity, as Hart does on "I Wish the Best for You," a number destined to become perhaps the greatest break-up song of all time. Magnificently produced, and with inspired arrangements ranging from rousing power ballads to luminescent acoustic pieces, infectious pop-flecked tracks to angular rockers. The music may be eclectic, but the memorable, introspective lyrics are this album's defining glory. ~ Jo-Ann Greene

First CD I have felt compelled to buy in a decade!
Created: 05/05/10
) I have been enjoying this album thoroughly... it has not left my CD player since I got it several weeks ago. Some of the songs are upbeat, some are mellow, and all are beautiful, with Emerson's great voice and guitar-playing.
I was a bit late to game in buying this CD - it was released in late 2007 and I got it in early 2010. A couple months ago, I heard an old Tonic song on the radio (Emerson Hart is Tonic's frontman), and I was recalling how much I liked it, so I watched the video on Youtube several times. Then I noticed the other related videos listed and saw that Emerson had done some solo work. As soon as I listened to them, I was hooked. I listened to about four of the songs from Cigarettes and Gasoline, and I enjoyed them so much that I bought the CD - the first CD I have purchased in about ten years! Now that Tonic has re-formed and released another album, I am considering buying it as well because Emerson's vocals and songwriting are so good.
From somebody who doesn't normally like current music lately, and tends to listen to 80s music and mid-90s rock/alternative, this CD was well worth the purchase!
