This Atlanta singer-songwriter is less of a cheeseball than those who remember his goopy 1998 hit "Lullaby" might think. His seventh album presents acoustic folk with a shopworn country vibe, and the well-trod sentiments and everyday details suggest a ponderous dude with too much time to think about his problems. The real problem with coffehouse stuff like "We Could Go and Start Again" isn't that it's corny -- it's just tofu-bland.
