wPQ&Di*X} 4 +I 3+a" Transmission: Please receive: 揙NE OF 2008抯 VERY BEST!? Got it? Well, come in
!mae^A1 give a try, give a listen ?it抯 all here below if you don抰 believe. Stop what
v^\JWPR/ yr doing ?just dig the grooves, the sounds.
hpas'H>J 1q`k}KM y Now, Greg Pope is the leader of Edmund抯 Crown, long a fave here at Not Lame but
$':JI#
this 揚opmonster?indeed!) thing? Gawd, Lawdie, it抯 freakin?great! Listen to
WV@X @]U Track #3 and #2 below for a bit of The Shazam. But there抯 so much here for
1y~L8!: L *all* pop fans. Yes, The Shazam, Matthew Sweet, The Replacements(at their
-EVs@:3]j finest!), The Grays(track #1 below), Terry Anderson or Bill Lloyd(Track #6) and
" &Gw1.p plenty of more of that where this comes from! Pope started this out seeking the
dB@FI help of others with this solo reach, but scheduled proved to be tough with
Xout:dn buddies and he ended up playing all the instruments here ?to its great credit,
pbPz$Y it sounds like a band at work here there抯 so much connection of the instruments
df^0{gNHx to the material. Big 憃le Talent? You betcha ?in spades.
<5M_EJp .(JE-upJ" AbsolutePowerPopBlog nails it(as usual): 揚ope lets loose a total of 16 tracks
?P%|P here but there really isn't any filler. Opener "Sky Burn Down" lets you know
xUIvLH= you're not in Kansas (or at least Tennessee) any more as he revs up a Robert
#jOOsfH|k Pollard-style rocker in both sound and length (2:08). "I Got a Life" is another
g
ji*Wq infectious barnburner which recalls both Matthew Sweet and The Who in places,
> CH while "Lost My Friend" and "Playing Nashville" travel in more familiar Edmund's
/9P^{ OZ;y Crown territory. "The Only Thing I've Got" also clocks in around 2 minutes, and
j{ )fC]8H has a definite Alex-Chilton-by-way-of-Paul-Westerberg vibe. Other standouts
hH#lTye include the aching Jon Brionesque pop of "Only One You", the jangly "Footpath",
WUzS l Zq the bright Americana-influenced "Little Things", and "Reason With You", another
U[IQ1AEr track that would have fit on nicely on Regrets of a Company Man(Edmund抯 Crown).
