Joshua Tyler - Traveling
(no label)

Amiable almost to a fault, this seven-song disc from gifted vocalist Joshua Tyler manages to be slick without being cloying. The title track could almost pass for Duncan Sheik, if Sheik had done anything this compelling on his last few albums. Fully indie in spirit, yet something the masses could embrace if someone picked it up and promoted it right. Rock and Top 40 radio would be in much better shape if literate, tuneful pop like this were on the playlist.
