Based on the last few posts I decided to pick this one up - found it on Amazon for $3.80 new. Anyway, didn't realize it, although it may have been mentioned on a few other threads, Jeff Trott has a pretty impressive songwriting pedigree - having written or co-written several of Sheryl Crow's biggest hits - most notably, "If It Makes You Happy."
Thanks for the tip on this one - very effective mix, although the vocals are bit dry. Trott has a singer songwriter's voice - meaning he is more of a songwriter than a singer but it is pleasant - just would benefit from a little reverb therapy. While you can hear the Crow influence (or is it his), this is very LA scene based pop - I can hear elements of Michael Penn, Duncan Sheik, The Wondermints, Aimee Mann, and the psychedelic/Beatlish production style of Jon Brion. Pretty cool, definitely worth a listen - a solid 8
