Kelley Stoltz - In Triangle Time

Silver-tongued songsmith and true American treasure Kelley Stoltz presents a 2015 collection of instant classics with just a hint more synthery than 2013's Double Exposure. For those not yet in the fan club, Kelley's like a Ray Davies/Brian Wilson/Tom Petty power pop Cerebus from another dimension where well placed tambourines, handclaps, and wry observations are a universal language. Criminally under-appreciated, Kelley's face should be on Amoeba-bucks for his contributions to the pop canon-the black-lipstick-smeared stand-out and lead-off track "Cut Me Baby" could be his walk-on music for the acceptance speech. Do yourself a favor and slap some Stoltz on the stereo!
