Almost Honest (2005)

Josh Kelley
Reviewed by Tom Sinclair | Aug 26, 2005
EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Aug 23, 2005; Lead Performance: Josh Kelley; Genre: Rock

No sophomore slump for this appealing singer-songwriter; Josh Kelley seems like a bona fide adept, comfortably conversant with any number of pop-music flavors. Soulful, folk-informed, and unflaggingly melodic, song after song rings straight and true (despite that qualifying first word in Almost Honest). We won't even hold it against him that he employed pop production whiz team the Matrix on his current single ''Only You.''
