John P. Strohm - Everyday Life
Reviewed by mike
The retrospective nature of Everyday Life is exactly the type of motif one would expect from a former alt-pop hero who is now married and has developed a career as an entertainment lawyer. What’s unexpected, however, is how consistently solid former Blake Babies’ guitarist John P. Strohm’s third solo release and first in eight years sounds, adding an irresistible country-rock tinge to his already college-radio-ready repertoire. Strohm doesn’t blaze any new trails with Everyday Life and it’s not the best work of his career, but not a single song sounds forced, making it the perfect soundtrack to kick up your dusty boots and simply enjoy listening to a rock and roll record.
