Music Review - `The Road Not Taken` by Nick Justice
There is something in Nick Justice’s graveled voice and accustomed, unrushed folk strumming that screams classic.

Music Review - `The Dance at Dawn ` by Nick Justice
This is singer-songwriter Nick Justice’s fifth album, and the third that this writer has covered on these pages. Yes, Justice has his usual themes of love gone wrong, misfits and the downtrodden.
