I'm Not Sure How Brandon Has Slipped Under The Radar

"People might know Brandon Butler for his role in the "midwestern emo" (hate the term "emo") band Boy's Life, but it seems no one knows about his solo career (or when he was at the helm of the superb band Canyon). His first solo album is an acoustic affair of laid back alt-country-ish tunes, and it really feels like the album you'd put on while you're sitting on the porch enjoying the sunset, and a cold beer.



If I were to sum up what Brandon butler in a sentence? It's like if you found someone whose vocals sounded like Tom Petty and Bob Dylan and had them jam with Neil Young. It's that good. And if you like this album, I'd recommend...highly recommend his second album "Lucky Thumbs" which has an electrified full band version of "Sparks"...and is easily one of the best of 2007."
