People On Vacation – ‘The Chronicles Of Tim Powers’ [Review]
A message for punk-loving guys suffering from the January (and/or pre-Valentine’s-Day) blues: If Bowling For Soup’s upcoming greatest hits package doesn’t entirely cure your affliction, this album will. Jaret Reddick is nothing if not a consistently great songwriter, and this set of songs (penned in collaboration with Texan singer-songwriter Ryan Hamilton) is a more than worthy addition to POV’s catalogue. Listening to The Chronicles of Tim Powers feels like rubbing salt into an open wound while sunbathing at the beach – and when it really hits home (as on She’s Not You and album closer Journey to the End) it really hits home.
Kids: This is how it’s done.
