Hate him instead for the fact that he comes up with more hook-filled, radio-ready potential hits than you and your whole family. With a sensibility based firmly on American roots rock a la Tom Petty, John Cougar, the Wallflowers, etc., Yorn yokes catchy guitar riffs to memorable choruses and note-perfect arrangements on song after song here. It usually takes a new artist a few albums to hone their craft this well, but Yorn got it right his first time out. |
