2008 release from this long time soft-poppinÂ` favorite here at Not Lame since he arrived on the scene in the late 90s! Jeff Larson is incapable of disappointing his fans, even has he takes stylistic detours, which he does not do here. The archetypes of his best work all in place on "Left Of A Dream". Help Beach Boy/Brian Wilson band leader Jeffrey Foskett and Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell are indicators of the sounds on this new disc. While not a classic power pop record as many here are used to, if you like your pop on the soft side of the fence. Jeff`s "sound" is derived from the pop of the 60s (Beach Boys and Byrds) and the "California soft rock" of the 70s (America, Eagles). "Grown-up rock music that never shies away from lyrical erudition and musical excellence" -- Bucketfull of Brains (UK) As always, a broad pallet of sounds, imagery and subject matter. Echoes of very early Eagles and Poco, Pousette-Dart Band and a bit of Bill Lloyd, there are lots of chimey guitars, sticky and yummy harmonies and songs that evoke a spirit of another time and still feel `right` for now! VERY Highly Recommended!
