Quote: "Knox may be the name of an unflavored gelatin, but it's now also the name of a musician of the highest order."

For my next act, ladies and gentlemen, I will not write a review but will, instead, send each and every one of you a copy of Music for Pleasure, an oh-so-welcome-and-refreshing example of truth in advertising.

Not to mention an example of exquisite songsmithing, production, musicianship ... hell, even the bloody album cover is cool.

When it comes to describing the sound one experiences upon pressing the "Play" button, suffice it to say that while lashings of rockabilly may ornament this record the real steam in the engine comes from astute and never-derivative nods to the unabashed joyous pop rock of Nick Lowe, Lennon & McCartney and Crowded House.

Like a box of chocolates, each of these songs is a confection and you don't give a good damn about what you're gonna get next -- you Just. Want. T
