This’ll sound weird but what comes to mind is if Martin Briley wrote music for Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Don sounds like neither but that’s what my ears hear. Oh! What if Huey Lewis, instead of playing backup on Nick Lowe songs, what if he and the News were the performers of Nick Lowe tracks? 

THAT’s what I hear!

This is the co-producer of the first two REM albums and, although he pioneered Jangle Pop the album is decidedly straight forward Rock. If you told me this guy was responsible for the most important breakthrough record in College Rock, I’d’ve said, “Wha?” 

This is a straight up great album of good songs.
