Big Blue Hearts – Here Come Those Dreams Again
From the vocals to the melodies to even the albums sequencing, theres a lot to like about this California band, though its going to be tough for singer David Fisher to live down the Raul Malo/Roy Orbison comparisons, and guitarist Scott Minchk is going to get sick of hearing about the Chris Isaak Silvertone syndrome (give a listen to Dreamin Of A Woman). But theres no artifice: Its clear the band, rounded out by J. B. Burton on bass and Greg Sobol on drums, simply sounds like this, and thats not only welcome, its an impressive accomplishment. The band shakes it out on the riffy Feel So Right and Dont Mind Messin, two of the catchiest tunes on a disc full of catchy tunes.
