Local hero Michael Stanley has been on a roll lately. Last year, he released The Ride, which came on the heels of The Hang, an introspective album he's referred to as his darkest release yet. The Ride presents a much more positive perspective and so does the just-released The Job, an album that suggests Stanley has hit upon a particularly rich vein of new songs. Expect to hear MSB favs as well as a good sampling of Stanley's solo material. (Niesel)
