The Pontiac Brothers
Doll Hut
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Work With Me
It’s Alright at Home
Out in the Rain
How lucky are we? Two Pontiac Brothers albums in one month! There’s got to be a story here but I’m too lazy to look it up.
Some tracks are repeated, like the country boogie “Straight and Narrow” or the Crampy “Almost Human”, which I like more here than I did on the last album. Only…this time…while the Stones adulation is even more obvious, it kind of works. The band is tighter and Matt Simon’s vocals seem to be hewing closer to the Westerberg than the Jagger, although he’s obviously sung along to every single Stones album.
Much better follow up, Pontiacs.
