2006-BRUSHFIRE
Produced By TOM DUMONT & PHIL EK
1. Cold December
2. Astair
3. Sweet Thursday
4. Sunshine
5. These Arms
6. Ballad Of Miss Kate
7. Sweet Rose
8. Songs We Sing
9. Yellow Taxi
10. I Tried
11. Behind The Moon
12. Oh Dear
13. Wash Away
Portuguese American singer songwriter Matt Costa was 21 when his homemade demo found the ears of No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont. The two recorded more demos, then a pair of EP’s (Matt Costa and The Elasmosaurus), which they sold basically out of the trunk of a car. The EP’s were basically put together and remixed into the original version of the album Songs We Sing, which was independently released in 2005. It was then remixed again, with a different tracklist, and put out in its current configuration on Jack Johnson’s label, Brushfire Records, in 2006 (the original album was last available on CD Baby, and has sold out with no more copies available). The trajectory of this album over three years and into increasingly more powerful hands is understandable. While not a perfect record, Songs We Sing shows real promise, and is about as charming a debut album as you’ll find. From the beginning of “Cold December”, you know that this kid has got something. He’s nowhere near as loud as No Doubt, and he’s much less jazzy than Johnson. Which is what makes Costa, and Songs we sing, so appealing. He’s like a throwback to the old singer-songwriters of the 1970’s.
Being signed to Jack Johnson’s label has its perks…but it also brings comparisons to its owner. Costa brings more to mind John Butler than he does Johnson. He also brings to mind a lot of other people as well. Costa seems to change his style for each song, even to the point of annoyingly jumping from American to a British accent. This becomes more of a distraction than anything else, as what Costa has above all else is a batch of pretty great songs…why hide them behind different personas? Be yourself, man, and let your songs speak for themselves! Despite this, Songs We Sing does bring the same sunny disposition that Johnson and Butler bring. It’s an album loaded with potential and promise, and it’s a nice listen for the most part…just don’t let the flaws get in your way. Costa continues to record, and is still in the Jack Johnson stable. Still waiting for that huge breakthrough, though. Right off the bat, he was so close. [First added to this chart: 03/27/2022]

1971-EPIC
Produced by RON RICHARDS & THE HOLLIES
1. What A Life I’ve Led
2. Look What We’ve Got
3. Hold On
4. Pull Down The Blind
5. To Do With Love
6. Promised Land
7. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress
8. You Know The Score
9. Cable Car
10. A Little Thing Like Love
11. Long Dark Road
The Hollies showed up in 1965, and built a legacy of singles that has always suggested that they were a much better band than their seemingly endless string of lackluster albums would indicate. The number of greatest hits packages made by The Hollies speaks volumes, and if you want to appreciate this band, that’s going to be the best way for you to go. By 1971, Graham Nash had long since departed for the much greener pastures of Crosby, Stills and. The band was left with the also soon to leave Allan Clarke, and they still couldn’t put together a full albums worth of quality material to save their lives. Distant Light is one of the below average efforts that kept their string of hits alive in the early seventies, with “Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress” joining the likes of “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” and “The Air That I Breathe”. Like most of the Hollies records, everything here sounds very dated…except for the hit. (“Long Dark Road” was also a minor, and long forgotten, hit as well).
Throughout the album, Clarke’s vocals sound as if they were piped in through a tin can. The songs here are not terrible, just completely unmemorable and very dated. It’s listenable, but just barely, and there’s not really any good reason to have this, unless you’re a big fan of the band. Get one of the many, much better, greatest hits packages instead. The Hollies would continue on…their next album, Romany (with the exact same album cover only in a winter setting) was a dud, but that didn’t stop them…The Hollies would make 10 more albums over the next decade before calling it a day. They never did make a really good album, though, and their legacy as one of the great bands of the 60’s and early 70’s is built solely on the fact that they had some hit singles. Distant Light is not highly recommended: there were much better bands in the era to hang your hat on, without having to endure too much of these guys. [First added to this chart: 05/23/2015]

I thought you had forgotten R.E.M. but here they are. Master of Puppets are ranked very low but why not ;)
