I saw these guys open at a U2 conference in Oakland way back about 20 years ago. I still don't know what to make of them. I must respectfully disagree with what some folks are saying about them lacking talent; IMHO they are talented (you try being a singer-songwriter and see how it goes...). But somehow it just never quite gels for me. I bought one CD years and years ago and that was it. I think it's because most of the songs felt like this...they just don't go anywhere.

I think that when it comes to the BoDeans, I prefer Jethro.  |

Small doses of well chosen BoDeans songs (such as this) are fine by me.

About the same number of £££s of ours that our lovely government have given those lovely people in Northern Rock.
Who said 'incompetence'?
I wonder if that is what's his name? Oh yes, Gordon Brown, on the drums... |

If yer man wants someone to stay nekkid with himself, I surely hope that he looks an awful lot better than his voice sounds, otherwise he'll need a bed partner with a white stick...

Bad Springsteen? Maybe. Sounds like a male Melissa Etheridge to me.
edit: Ah, Liser had the same idea first, I see reading to the end.

A really fine live band. Saw them so many years ago at Johns Hopkins University. Very simple stage, simple band, honest well-played music.
