Grandaddy - Under The Western Freeway

Big Cat ABB152CD. 1997


A.M. 180 has to be a contender for the best keyboard riff ever committed to tape. That track is a work of genius that Mr Lytle has yet to better, or even match. I can't remember where I first heard it, but I knew it was something special immediately.

The rest of the album is good too. Probably the most varied effort they've put out. Not a single filler.

I've just been to yet another funeral, and this sits snuggly between happy and melancholy. Nice.

If you're only going to own one Grandaddy record, make it this one.
