But associations only get one so far; a listen to the warm and inviting <i>Up in the Air<\/i> reveals a young \u2013 yet seasoned \u2013 songwriter who&#8217;s musically wise beyond his years. The disc&#8217;s clean, straightforward production showcases Harris&#8217; strong, tuneful melodies. The chiming \u201cEnd of the Rope\u201d is as winning as anything on <strong>Big Star<\/strong>&#8216;s first two discs, and a helluva lot sunnier than their third. <i>Up in the Air<\/i> will have lovers of classic pop reaching for the \u201crepeat\u201d button.
