Continuing this week's semi-switcheroo....This 22 year old Scot has done a lot of maturing since his 2006 debut "These Streets." While that album was full of standard radio fare guitar driven pop this latest release sounds like it could have been recorded in another decade. "No Other Way" and "Coming Up Easy" would be right at home on any Otis Redding or Sam Cooke album while "Pencil Full of Lead" and "Simple Things" conjure images of washboard and harmonica jam sessions on sleepy Southern porches. Who needs plutonium and gigawatts when you've got music like this?
