Town and Country "My Blue Heaven"

“Town and Country” is a sweetly made pop album by Dan Weir and friends, a Nick Lowe-styled blend of guitar and pub rock beats and melodic hooks. “Daytime Emmy” has a sticky bass line and Dan’s soothing vocal keeps the listener paying attention. The songwriting is similar to a mix of  Glen Tilbrook or Al Stewart. Next in “Variations on a Theme By Mo” the theme is “you lie, you suck”- sung like a up-tempo love song. “Bella Vista” takes a slight twang in Americana pop similar to The Eagles. The best power pop standard here is “The Rest of The Night” with a wonderful jangle guitar and uplifting, harmonic chorus. This album is a perfect example of a hidden musical gem waiting to be discovered. In a rotten mix up, this EP is placed on e-music under a similar named band’s discography. However, it’s a wonderful surprise to anyone downloading it. Hopefully a full length follow up is in the works.
