Listen to This: American Beauties “Miles From Nowhere”

For fans of the Jayhawks or Wilco you cannot go wrong with these guys…hell, if you dig Jeff Tweedy you may have just found your next favorite band.

There are tinges of Big Head Todd in the Monsters and Toad the Wet Sprocket here that I latch onto. The phrasing, the arrangement, the guitar parts. There is a catchy and mesmorizing character in the track “Miles from Nowhere”. Michael Gray’s voice lends itself to some sort of nostalgia sentiment that i long for and rarely find. This is a win for me…listen up!
