<p>&#8216;Hudson County&#8217;, the new Ferentz and the Felons song, is a folky, rock-tinged ode to to the ultra-dense New Jersey county across the Hudson River from New York City. Singer and lead guitarist Zak Ferentz&#8217;s rough childhood, drug addicted parents, and running the streets, in the county&#8217;s housing projects is the song&#8217;s primary lyrical focus. It&#8217;s nice to see urban working class themes worked into a genre that&#8217;s often explicitly rural. Ferentz&#8217;s patient, layered approach to songwriting comes through really well on &#8216;Hudson County.&#8217; The guitars are properly produced and well-performed and the rhythm section is right in the pocket. These guys clearly have a lot to offer.</p>

<p><strong><em>&#8220;All of my music is inspired by my life, real situations that made me who I am.
