David Vandervelde: Waiting For The Sunrise (Secretly Canadian) - David Vandervelde's second LP taps into the American rock tradition. In striving to carry the torch for classic folk-rock tradition, his blend of high-pitched vocals, hazy guitar and warm keys wind up with a rather faded sound. Ironically, the gauzey cover-art seems strikingly appropriate. When press releases for a singer/ songwriter tout a collaboration with Jay Bennett (ex Wilco), you can guess where things are heading. Reasonably enjoyable, but nothing special.
