Album Reviews
You can't be too surprised at Brendan Benson releasing a new album just a year after the Raconteurs' last chart-buster — it must be in the band charter for everyone to follow Jack White's album-per-summer plan. Benson's fourth solo jam is his first since the Raconteurs introduced him to the masses, which means now everybody gets to play catch-up with his skewed acumen for classic power pop in the Seventies AM-gold mode of Wings and ELO. "Feel Like Taking You Home" is a typical masterstroke: It's a near-perfect doppelgänger for the early-Eighties Moody Blues sound, which nobody else would even try to doppelgäng.
