*I`Sc|A Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
m 'KY;C *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
I.Co8is finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
TOn{o}Y B plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the

"Fy34T0N the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
sVZb[|zSri track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
