Trevor Childs, formerly of Bay Area band Applesaucer, releases an album that is socially relevant and definitely retro. His love of The Zombies, Beach Boys and Syd Barrett shines through, but is also partnered with some good old-fashioned Berkeley liberalism. With an album that is so well-written, simple, classic and direct, where the songs, like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams or Willie Nelson, are the key to the form - not the production, the performance or the reference points. It's impossible to listen to this album and not like it, or know someone that will.
