This sounds like an honest man's pop record. In fact, if a squeaky clean image were marketable anymore today, I believe this is a band - or is it a one-man show? I believe it is - that would be going places fast. "Pig Tail World" is a streak of bright in an otherwise dark sky, produced with savvy, and an undeniable talent for creating an addictive foot-tap, thinking back to the seventies, which is about where most of this music would comfortably fit in.

Not until song 7, "Disappearing," do we really move out to the present and realize this music doesn't belong strictly in the past, somewhere between David Bowie and David Cassidy, but would probably "reach" more of an audience there. Happy, upbeat and contagiously catchy, but there's probably not much of a market for tuneful melodies as mature as these.
