Martin Carr was better known as the guitarist and main songwriter in the Boo Radleys. This is an album of mellow acoustic tracks, which is quite pleasant on a first listening but it didn't awaken any sense of excitement. Musically I can't fault it, and the lyrics are diverse and interesting. It also improved with listening, so perhaps it's just a slow burner.
I did enjoy second track 'Darwin's Tree' which appeared to be cleverly written ode to evolution. On 'Tired and Broke' and 'Black and Blue' I loved the guitar at the beginning and the forlorn lyrics. 'Goldrush '49 'was a sweet song of coming of age with a joyous refrain of California. A couple of tracks didn't appeal to me, but on the whole it's an undemanding and relaxing album that mixes Americana with a bit of shoe gazing and some soulful lyrics.
