Glad to see someone else with Bob Evans at #1. I think we'd be seeing
it on a lot more lists had it been properly distributed in the USA
(currently only available via iTunes or as a pricey import CD). As
for Suburban Kid, it's OK, but nowhere near the masterpiece Suburban
Songbook is. The main complaints I have with it are that many of the
songs meander (quite a few are 5-6 minutes) and Evans' (actually
Mitchell's) vocals are much more nasal than on SS. Of course it
helped greatly on SS that Brad Jones was producing. Nevertheless,
it's still a decent listen.
I've also realized that I haven't posted my top 20 to the Audities
itself for inclusion in the poll (rather than linking to my blog), so
here it is:
1. Bob Evans-Suburban Songbook
2. Supraluxe-Supraluxe
3. Andrew LeDrew-Ladies Lookout
4. LEO-Alpacas Orgling
5. The Format-Dog Problems
6. The Goldbergs-Hooks, Lines & Sinkers
7. Rhett Miller-The Believer
8. Chris Brown-Now That You're Fed
9. Copperdown-Something True
10. David William-One Way Ticket
11. Gregg Swann-Everybody's Got to Be Somewhere
12. The World Record-Guitars Forever
13. Geoff Smith & The Tonewheels-S/T
14. Cheap Trick-Rockford
15. The Damnwells-Air Stereo
16. Jeff Larson-Swimming In The Make Believe
17. Lolas-Doctor Apache
18. Edmund's Crown-Regrets of a Company Man
19. Monkeeman-Monkeeman
20. Fresh Mowed Lawn-Fresh Mowed Lawn
And for 2007, remember this name: Peter Baldrachi. (See today's blog
post for more on him).
