3 – The Right Time – Brian Wilson – The song is slight, it sounds like minor league Wilson… still pretty good – B+
4 – Crush Me With Your Love – Kate Pierson – First iffy trick off the album, the vocal isn’t there and the song is a duffer – C+
5 – 1:59- Matt Whipkey – Nice little lick – B+
6 – Sweet Home – Pop Staples – deep blues by the late great – A-
7 – Don’t Let It Trouble Your Mind – Rhiannon Giddens – Folkie singer songwriter stuff – A-
8 – Friction – Imagine Dragons – It’s so easy, too easy, to dismiss these guys, this is half a good song with a slimy production – C+
9 – Edge Of A Revolution – Nickelback – Maybe it’s Chad Kroeger’s fault. Maybe if they got a half way decent singer – C-
10 – Next Year People – Colin Hay – A real bore with a terrible vocal – D+
