Get Your Own! | View Slideshow }Jac Dalton’s pop/rock freight-train style thunders masterfully along slick progressive country tracks, powered by classic Australian rock & roll riffs. Originally from North Carolina, this renegade Southern gentleman arrived upon Aussie shores with but a notebook full of killer tunes and humble, heartrending lyrics aimed at the 'every-man' inside us all. Shopping around for just the right mix and sound, Jac soon attracted the attention of some of Australia’s most noted rock icons. These include: Mark Evans (AC/DC), Russell Morris, David Moyse (Air Supply), The Angels (John and Rick Brewster, Buzz Bidstrup and Chris Bailey), Rose Tattoo (Paul DeMarco and Rob Riley), Gwyn Ashton (BB King, Mick Fleetwood) and UKs Paul Wetton (Robert Plant Band) and are the International Legends featured on the album. With a world-class six-piece band logging more than a hundred years experience between them, finesse, maturity and passion are the silver bullets in vocally-driven, gut-wrenching power ballads like ‘Fire Burns’ and ‘Exhale’ (written for survivors of the World Trade Centre); while the heart-thumpin’, ass-kickin’, classic backbeat of songs like ‘Dirty Mean and Nasty’, ‘Til We Run Outta Highway’ and ‘Good Bad Girl’ leave no doubt who it is brandishing the smokin’ rock & roll gun. Country too wears a brand new hat in Jac’s classy, hard driving, songs like ‘Down and Dirty’, ‘I Want Love’ and ‘Cut to the Chase’ – timeless reflections amidst all the spit and polish of this exceptional act successfully straddling ‘Both Sides’ of the fence. Though each song was written to stand on its own, the journey of the album is epic – as rare are the times we stumble across an album that is all guts and no filler. And regardless of whether Jac is unplugged or full-bore, you’ll wanna dance; you’ll wanna listen. If it’s been a while since last you were ‘wow-ed’ … you’re about to be!PROMO HIGHLIGHTS: BillBoard executives have said of Jac Dalton, ‘We need more music like this coming from our shores.’ The Album represents the first time in Australian music history that an all star band of Rock Legends has backed an unknown artist. Because of the timelessness and maturity of ‘From Both Sides’, it is likely to remain in both Rock and Country hit charts for a long time. In the 6 months since the launch of Jac’s MySpace (jacdaltonrocks) the site has logged more than 14,000 plays and 12,000 friends - averaging more than 500 hits per week – with the album yet to be released. More than 100 radio stations across Australia, New Zealand and the US have played sample tracks of Jac’s songs for their audiences. The album’s richness and diversity are the result of a long journey of intimate soul-searching, candid writing, meticulous recording and masterful production over a three year period. The album has attracted such attention that its producer, Darren Mullan, has been featured in ‘Audio Technology’ magazine, sharing secrets of how he was able to raise the bar so high with ‘From Both Sides’.
