Details: Amazon.ca Possessing a voice as rough and real as a corn-fed Neil Young, an eye for detail as compact as a poet's, and a knack for forlorn yet catchy melodies that would make Brian Wilson proud, Freedy Johnston has become one of the most respected singer/songwriters in rock. For his fifth album, Johnston turns down the amps and navigates the introspective path that's served him so well in the past. "Changed Your Mind" and "While I Wait for You" operate as modest pop-rock elevated by irresistible choruses, but the bittersweet "Pretend It's Summer" and "Emily" reveal Johnston's folk and literary leanings. Producer T Bone Burnett (with Roger Moutenot) captures Johnston's gentle grace with a roomy sound. Session drummer extraordinaire Jim Keltner applies his relaxed, rock-solid touch while subtle electric guitar accents punctuate the sly hooks. Blue Days will stand as an understated addition to Johnston's canon. --Rob O'Connor Product Description Kansas-bred, New York-based Freedy Johnston 1st came to the attention of critics and discerning pop fans with 2 acclaimed indie releases. With his 1994 major label debut, Perfect World, and his brooding hit single "Bad Reputation," Freedy increased his audience five-fold. His illustrative songwriting is again front and center on Blue Days, Black Nights (co-produced by T-Bone Burnett), which features the 1st single, "Changed Your Mind." Other highlights include "Pretend It's Summer" and "While I Wait for You" among others.
