29032014 - Andrew Gold "What's Wrong With This Picture?"

Time for some soft rock again! I have only heard one of Gold's songs previously, the wonderful "Lonely Boy", which can be found on this album. And that song is so good it's been covered by both Petula Clark and Foo Fighters! The rest of the album is fairly pleasant, but I'm unsure why such a good songwriter would feel the need to include a relatively pedestrian cover version of the song "Do Wah Diddy". That's nitpicking though, because theres plenty here for lovers of solid 70's pop/soft rock, including the shortest epic ballad I can recall ever hearing, in the form of "Angel Woman", which clocks in at 1:37, but feels a lot longer. Fun fact: There's apparently 32 things wrong in the picture on the album cover. Good luck finding them all! At least there's nothing wrong with this album.
