...for lovers of white soul.
Mayer Hawthorne.
Sweet Jebus, I can't remember the last time I heard an album I liked this much. The reference points are obvious: Motown, Philly soul, a bit o' Beach Boys. It's freaking frothy but it isn't leaving my cd player. There is nothing ironic here, nothing post modern. And every time you think he's going to fall into cliche land, he pulls out of the nose dive with some great musical or lyrical trick.
Touchstone: I guarantee you'll love this if you like Laura Nyro's 'Gonna Take a Miracle.' (Or early Todd Rundgren)
Well, in a highly unscientific sampling, it appears even uber-plugged in kids are joining the vinyl revival. My friend who has a 13 year old daughter (and many of her friends) are all buying up vinyl records, both new and used. A TT will be in under her Christmas tree this year apparently. For now it'll be one of those Crosley portables (which I got my 3 year old son for his birthday and he loves) which compared to an average boom-box or cheap ear-buds is not bad.
