G@H!D[wd Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
A V

Vbl -Ff finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and

@yuiNj .T has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts

$"kPzo~B_ the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
T0w_d_aS track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
