Negative Positive
Title: great roots-rock from Hoboken
Review: I first heard The Damn Lovelys on the CCR tribute album Chooglin'. Their version of "Hey Tonight" sounds a little dreamy yet rockin' with a bit of a Blondie thing going on. So I bought Trouble Creek, it is fantastic. The singer has a strong voice that reminds me of Kirsty MacColl but with even more emotional range. The band is damn tight, dishing out catchy hooks with plenty of slide guitar that brings to mind The Allman Brothers. Overall, the album sounds a lot like a Sheryl Crow album yet the lyrics have much more depth.
Is the review positive or negative?
