2006 release from semi-legend power popper D.L. Byron. And on "Boa, even more so than his last excellent album "Itz", the perfect follow up to his classic album. See, In 1980, D. L. Byron released This Day and Age, which became an instant power pop classic. Produced by Jimmy Iovine , the record contained ten tracks of energetic pop/punk in the vein of the Jam`s In the City, Marshall Crenshaw`s debut and Elvis Costello`s Armed Forces. You`ll
hear The Rubinoos and The Flashcubes all over "Boa", as well. We said the
same thing about "Itz" but like that one, "Boa" really sounds like it could have been the 1981 follow up, big time. That good. That satisfying. Byron has a gorgeous rock and roll baritone that is perfect for this style of power pop and it`s in full force here. Listen to the soundbites below. Jangly power Rickenbacker 12 string guitar all over the place with passionate vocals, crooning vocals and those crisp guitar tones! For folks familiar with "This Day And Age", you`ll smile in recognition right away. These are sassy, memorable tunes gleaned from shiny, classic pop influences. Delivered with class and vibrancy, their sense of melody is augmented by Byron`s keen sense of knowing what`s best at. And that folks, is right here and now on "Boa". Extremely Highly Recommended!!
