Wow, haven't heard this in a while... I've been around RP so long now I'm starting to get 'nostala' moments from stuff I first heard here... I think this was one of the first totally new discoveries I made when I first discovered this site oh-so-long ago.

I'll throw in that I hear Ray Davies. (But I hear a lot of voices.) Anyone else?

Funny, I thought he sounded like Thom Yorke - that whiny high-pitched weak warble is just so Radiohead. |

A really good vocalist would try to find his own voice rather than exploit the money and fame to be found sounding like a superstar. Its even shadier than being an Elvis impersonator. At least we know Elvis's songlist; with this guy, the casual listener might actually believe he is listening to some obscure Bono recording. I HATE being duped! Though...at least the song was decent. Reminds me of Celine becoming a superstar totally imitating Barbra.
Wow. That's a lot of anger. Maybe this IS his true voice, and he just happens to sound like Bono (to you). I bought this album a few years ago when I happened upon it in a store. I immediately recognized Andy's name, as I am familiar with Ani Difranco's bandmates' names. Gave it a listen at the in-store station, and was surprised at how different it was from Ani's stuff. Was intrigued enough to buy it, and like the album very much in its own right. Glad to hear a track here, which reminds me to go listen to the whole album again. |

I know. I was listening to it and thought, "Is this some weird U2 song I've never heard before?" |

To me, he sounds like a slightly higher pitched Petty with tremolo. |

GO canada!, they are outdoing the US in songwriting right now.  Hey what ever happened to 54-40? Are they still recording? I thought one day they might break into the lower 48. |

A pity, his influences "interfere" that much, while he can't stand the comparison (yet?) with U2 ('One'), Radiohead and (even) the Beatles.
But it's got the right sound (good production!) and I'm curious what he will sound like after he has found a style/voice that's more his own.

I really liked Andy S. when RP first started playing him, but that whiney voice is starting to get to me.

I agree with the other comment I saw below. It sounded like Bono at first, but with slightly less angst.

Andyy Stochansky, Neil Finn, and Josh Ritter have all taken top seats on my "must buy" list of new music, thanks entirely to RP airplay. |
