2006 solo album from one half of the awesome Canadian jangle-duo Brothers In
Stereo, whose album on this site is a `must-hear` without question. Chris
and Andrew LeDrew each have their own solo albums(Andrew`s is "Ladies
Lookout") and here Chris asserts a confident step into his own brand of
jangled up pop, but "Stronger Man" has a more rootsy, un-dappled strain of
Laurel Canyon roots-pop. Fans of Michael Carpenter, take note, as well as
Tom Petty and Lloyd Cole. The sound of dusty, alt-ish country tinged pop
highlighted by gorgeous harmonies, one moment sparse and understated, the
next building to a triumphant roar of churning drums and jangled-up guitar.
LeDrew blends soothing melodic lines with layers of acoustic and electric
guitars strummed urgently, heartfelt lyrics, the just-right-amount of jangle
in the guitar and the instinct to know when it might be getting a little too
laid back to kick into a slightly more rocking gear. A refreshing dose of
intelligent rock music that does not sound like anything particular but, at
the same time, warmly familiar. Very nice cover of Gerry Raferty`s "Right
Down The Line". Extremely Highly Recommended!
