Yeah, this is a good album Not as great as Tom Petty's Wildflowers, but for some reason it sounds really nice in regular rotation with Wildflowers. Dawes have plenty of pleasant easy listening songs spread across all their albums. I always look forward to new music from them as they seem to tie things together nicely. But this is the album I reach for when I want some Dawes.
"Things Happen" was (kinda) in heavy rotation on The Current for a little bit, but otherwise, this record was all new for me. I landed somewhere between Ken and CJ; I really dug "I Can't think About it Now." It feels like it would be at home on a Fleetwood Mac album. The melodies were nice too, but I'm at work, and that means Taylor was competing with a couple of different work radios I monitor.
I missed the El Camino line, but I'm rooting for it to keep running/driving on principle- they're a dying breed, and rare in places where roads are made of salt 8 mos./year.
Kevin, I’m not a car guy in any way, but you know what, I’m rooting for that El Camino too. One of the all-time most hideous vehicles, that became a bit of a cult classic.
Total Dawes fan here. So glad to see you feature them and this album! If you haven't had an opportunity to see them live, I recommend it! They always put on a great show. I love this album but North Hills is my favorite. "A Little Bit of Everything" is such a poignant song. Okay, I need to stop, but you can tell I'm a fan.
