Earlier this year I reviewed the EP New Songs for the Old Frontier by the very talented Dallas, TX based country singer/songwriter Ronnie Fauss. Well, he’s back with another lyrically literate EP, Mulligan, which is golfer’s slang for a do-over and this album is anything but. Mulligan is more an evolution, bypassing the country folk bent of New Songs for a stronger rock vibe. A few standout tracks on this six-song EP include the catchy, upbeat “To Ease My Mind”; honky tonk, toe-tapping “It’s A Long Long Way” with twangy guitar and piano; and the simple folk song featuring mandolin titled “Wish.” Mulligan showcases Fauss’ diversity as an artist, keeping everything fresh on another EP that you never get tired of. – Written by JFelton
