blind

John Laprade is a new voice on the scene, he scored some exposure on A&E with "Knock You Down" featuring Richard Lloyd and here is his debut EP. This song goes on sarcastically about stardom and it's trappings, with Lloyd's amazing guitar and Laprade's soaring harmony. The title track, "Blind" is a terrific single, with hummable chorus and reminds me a little of Glen Tilbrook, Tommy Keene and Wilco. "Tennessee" is a little laid back country pop tune, with a bit of piano, harmonica and some nice drum work by Joe Bonadio. This is a prelude to John's new LP coming soon, and it's a good starting point.
