They Say...
Vermont-born, Boston-based roots rocker Todd Thibaud's first album in five years increases the always-present pop elements in his music. Much like the work of fellow Massachusetts-based Americana singer/songwriter Joe Pernice, Thibaud's music has moved effortlessly, over the course of four albums, from fairly traditional country-rock into a more idiosyncratic blend of jangling guitar pop, emotional ballads, and moody, epic rockers. Northern Skies may not be his best record -- 1999's Little Mystery is a tough one to top -- but it's his most wide-ranging, and its high points are high indeed. The opening track, "Three Words," is one of Thibaud's most effective rockers, reminiscent of prime Nick Lowe, and the choogling "Why Can't I Explain?" is the same fizzy mix of country and power pop that the Minus 5 have made their own. A couple of songs recall 2000's characterless and overly polite Squash, most notably the bland Maroon 5-style pop/rock of "Isn't Love My Friend?," but overall, Northern Skies strikes a good balance between the AAA radio charts and the roadhouse.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
