Album Review: Rupert Wates — Coast to Coast: Postcards from America
Coast to Coast is full of pleasant, NPR-circuit, inoffensive story-songs that put the focus squarely on the vocals and lyrics. The instrumentation floats by, supporting the melody but never calling attention to itself. Imagine a British Jimmy Buffett — without the Key West stoner humor — and you won’t be too far off the mark.
