Rich Millett

CD – Ugly Radio

            Rich Millett sounds like a singer/songwriter who presents his work in a power pop format. It is a successful combination, making Millett’s serious thoughts more radio friendly.

            Millett is not friendly to radio, however. The title track includes lines like “You just long for a crafted song.” Millett has them here, with twelve tracks filled with melodies and the hooks that, according to his song, you can’t hear on the radio anymore.

Millett’s acoustic, Mark Loudermilk’s electric guitar, Dave Zibman on bass, and Millett again on drums fill out the sound nicely, with keyboards by Bobby Micell.

            If this CD hits the airwaves, the nice melodies would make radio less ugly.
