(paulcoady.com) There’s a track on here, “Closing Day,”
which despite a Springsteen-ian theme sounds almost exactly like a classic
Rolling Stones ballad. Think about that -- lots of bands ape the struttery of
upbeat Rolling Stones, but who has the chops to pull off a “new” Stones’
ballad? I guess I never noticed Coady’s voice could get so Mick-y, but I also
think his backing band, the Edsel Bros., are hitting that magical spot of
spare, near perfect instrumentation. That there’s also some power pop/bar
band/Americana/rootsy/Midwest alchemy going here (that no Brit band could fake,
no matter how many trips to Chess Studio they took) makes this Coady’s best
effort yet.
