The 1986 Listening Post - BoDeans - Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams

BoDeans
Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams
Genre: Roots Rock

Maybe I just don’t like T-Bone Burnett. 
I never heard BoDeans but I’ve read their name for decades. There are tons of bands like this. But, much like Los Lobos they sanded off whatever edges that drew me to rock to sound laconic, like the soundtrack to your backyard SoCal party, with Christmas lights that bedeck your yard and wine coolers flowing. It’s all very fine but dull.
