Moonflower Lane

This man knows he's blessed. A listen to "I Do" reveals his happiness with wife and family. With Ty's trademark smooth vocal, he lets loose a few of those Beatles similarities. Check out the laid-back "Live in Your House," with fascinating lyrics like, "A man stands tall for the One true God, an evolutionist says it's a pile of wad, and the scientist's dogma seems awfully religious to me." There are a few filler songs ("The Island Sea," "Walk With My Love"), but for the most part, some great songwriting went on here and great musicianship as well. Guitars on this record are what you've come to expect from Ty. While "Without You" and "Hollow Eyes" could practically have been one of Ear Candy's so-called "Ty songs," there's not an excess of resemblance to the low, down- tuned crunch of King's X. Rather, the clean tones, with just the right amount of distortion, coat each song, reminding me of a few of the popular bands on modern rock radio. The difference between this artist and those? Ty will be around tomorrow. [Metal Blade/ BVM]
