A full album of catchy pop songs. If you liked her before, more of the same here, which is not a bad thing.

David Gray - Draw The Line

For me David Gray will always be "Babylon". Nothing on this album reaches those heights, but it is a pleasurable listen. Stumbles a bit toward the end.

None

Track 7 - Harder
Track 9 - Stella The Artist



Lucero - 1372 Overton Park

Album Rating - 3.58

I love this band. Previous albums came off very much with a Paul Westerberg / Replacements feel. This time around we get a little less Replacements and a bit more Springsteen. These guys continue to push there sound to different places. Horns are added to the mix which really flesh out the sound. Lots of good stuff.

Track 2 - What Are You Willing To Lose
Track 10 - Halfway Wrong

4 Star Songs:
Track 1 - Smoke
Track 3 - Sound Of The City
Track 5 - The Devil And Maggie Chascarillo
Track 8 - Johnny Davis
