Justin Levinson is a fine folksy rock artist that will appear to fans of Bill Mallonee, Bob Dylan and Neil Young. There are some excellent songs here on this seven song mini-album entitled Bury Your Love.
 
“Heavy Weight” finds the protagonist desiring to help a close friend carry a heavy emotion filled load. 
 
“Daisy May” and “Don’t Know How To Say It” feature much more Beatlesesque sounding pop melodies while “Home” and the gorgeous “Middlebrook Road” are much more stripped down piano rich songs.
 
“When It Rains On Your Parade” is my personal favorite on this collection. It features Levinson playing his guitar and harmonica, on a song about disappointment and loss and the importance of still keeping our chin up in hard times. 
 
I am looking forward to hearing more from this talented young Boston songwriter!
