![]() Cidny Bullens (from the album Walkin’ Through This World available on Blue Lobster Records) (by Bryant Liggett) Despite being the first record from roots rocker Cidny Bullens, it is far from a debut. Bullens has dropped previous eight releases dating back to 1979 as Cindy Bullens, this latest Walkin’ Through This Worldthe first since becoming a transgender man. Tailored for the Americana crowd, there’s a punky punch with Cidny Bullens having a lot to say; identity and perception are proud narratives delivered open and smart. Album opener “Little Pieces” kicks off with sharp and stabbing guitar while a Rock’n’Roll sitar lays a psychedelic bed while Cidny sings of personal change where an ‘existence has gone up in smoke, it’s my own’. Cidny Bullens is bold and stoked for his future as he speaks /my travels as a man in this world have only just begun’. The Walkin’ Through This World title track is a spoken word, Rock rhythm backed bit of Beat poetry, detailing that Cidny Bullens is ‘walking through this world as exactly who I am’. A boogie groove drives the autobiographical “Call Me by My Name” where Cidny takes you from age four to the present while detailing some significant times from Bullen’s past, times he sings about in a confident swagger. Singing “call me by my name’, the story attempts to rest others discomfort to his physical changes. Walkin’ Through This World is Cidny Bullens giving a voice to many, a human and real narrative that is important to hear, wrapped in a Rock and Roll package.
