Tal Bachman -- the twenty-nine-year-old son of Randy Bachman, of Bachman-Turner Overdrive -- can be heard takin' care of family business in a wildly impressive way on this debut. While Tal inherited a serious gift for the pop-rock hook from Bachman Sr., he's very much his own man: "She's So High" (also featured on Dawson's Creek) is simply one of the most undeniable singles of the year -- it sounds like some lost pop gem from the Turtles retrofitted for our post-grunge age. Elsewhere, Bachman succeeds in the area where your average gifted power popster fails: sensitive singer-songwriter tunes, like the emotionally committed "If You Sleep." "Beside You" is a romantic confection of McCartney-like delicacy. And "You Don't Know What It's Like" demonstrates winningly that the young Canadian can rawk out a bit. (RS 810)
