Susan James - Driving Toward The Sun


Rating: 3/5

Review:
Rather uninspiring

I'm afraid this album didn't do much for me. Susan James has a nice voice, there is some enjoyable twangy guitar and she has a more-than-competent band behind her, but the material really isn't up to much. The songs have amiable but forgettable tunes and lyrically they are pretty weak, with lots of repeated lines which really don't bear repeating either musically or lyrically.

I think there is a slight air of Judy Tzuke about this album, but it's like listening to a whole album of Judy Tzuke's weakest material (which really was pretty weak) with nothing of the class of For You or Stay With Me Till Dawn. It's all perfectly unobjectionable, but there's nothing of any real substance here either, and I can only give this a very lukewarm recommendation.
