Review

The problem with Road comes down to one thing: the soprano saxophone. James Keelaghan has a gentle voice that melds nicely with his equally soothing songs. His songwriting is competent, if unexceptional, and while his songs aren't particularly punchy, he doesn't lack for melodies. On songs like "Who Dies?" (the answer, in case you're wondering, is "everyone") and Ewan MacColl's pro-union Luddite-tinged anthem "My Old Man," Keelaghan is a convincing folkie. But then that saxophone reappears, and all that pleasantness becomes magnified. Before you know it, a song about life on the road ("Love What a Road") is suddenly transformed into a forgettable lite-rock ride in the minivan of life. The difference between sweetness and saccharine is a narrow one for Keelaghan. The arrangements on Road provide sugar substitutes. --Percy Keegan
