After time with The Luxury Liners and The Foxymorons, Singer/songwriter David Dewese had the urge to put out a solo album. I’m glad he did, because it’s got great melodic songs and a laid back Nashville aura surrounding the music. “Dear Self” is a smooth acoustic/piano pop theme with a catchy hook. “This Too Shall Pass” is a great stomping mid tempo number supported by strings, piano, and timpani. It flirts with the country sound much like The Honeydogs, even though it’s got a pop structure. Many of the songs are simple guitar tunes, done with intimacy and emotion here, like “Without You” or “Lake Tawakoni.” But it doesn’t wallow in self reflection too long and “Moment Too Late” starts pretty standard and then chord change leads to a snappy chorus that is instantly hummable. The best thing about Dewese is he makes these songs very easy to relate to lyrically and musically. This is a solid album, and some tracks are available here through noisetrade, so spread the wealth!
