Gavin DeGraw - Gavin DeGraw
Gavin's sophomore album doesn't quite live up to Chariot, but it's not bad. Check out 'I Have You to Thank' and 'Next to Me' for two hits that haven't quite made it to the radio. If you like Ryan Adams, Jack Johnson, and Jason Mraz, it's a safe bet this album is right up your alley. Similar to how 'Chemical Party' on the first album seemed out of tune with the rest of the playlist, this time 'Cop Stop' and 'Medicate the Kids' are DeGraw's nods to his obvious muse, Mrs. Mary J. The album isn't exactly Drugs, Sex, Rock & Roll, but for teens and older hipsters, DeGraw is a little bit of the Sticky-Icky, heavy petting, and blues inspired pop. C+
