Despite the steel guitar of studio veteran Al Perkins snaking through four of these cuts, Rouse's music retains the pop bounce and sunny romanticism (tempered with heart-on-sleeve vulnerability) that make John Mayer sound like Jon Spencer by comparison. Recorded as a fond farewell to Nashville--the city where the Nebraska native has lived for the past decade--the album could serve as a sequel to Rouse's previous release, 1972. With the Bowiesque phrasing of \"Middle School Frown\" and \"Sad Eyes,\" the plaintive, Neil Young-style harmonica of \"My Love Has Gone,\" and the soulful reverie of \"Saturday,\" Rouse runs the gamut of retro influences from what his music celebrates as a more innocent era. He's even divided the CD into a (poppier) side A and a (moodier) side B, where the propulsive insistence of \"Why Won't You Tell Me\" provides a change of pace from the laid-back intimacy that prevails. Throughout the album, the stripped-down, largely acoustic arrangements behind Rouse's wispy voice add to the sing-song charm. --Don McLeese\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 014431067921\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0014431067921\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977210\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46432697188611,"sku":"6Z-VMEK-AHGJ","price":3.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/files\/41FoP1OEUcL.jpg?v=1740227127","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/nashville-1","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
