Song For The Moment (by Stevie C.)
Stranger by Dr. Dog
I heard these guys last week and couldn’t help but love their sound. Slightly melancholy, slightly familiar, very cool. Being that they are from Philly, it all makes sense. It’s some good retro white boy rock that I have a tendency, according to my wife, to favor. An eclectic sound similar in some regards to Wilco. (Later in the album I swear I hear some Bowie.)
The catchiest of tunes, one of my two favorites which bookend the album, is Stranger.
“Dr. Dog has created a song cycle of doubt and despair, bookended with the woozily swirling harmonies of Leaman’s lonely opener “Stranger” and the harsh self-critique of the title track, a gnarled admission that sometimes it’s best to admit your mistakes and move on.”
