Tal Bachman (1999)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Release Date: Apr 13, 1999; Lead Performance: Tal Bachman; Genre: Pop

On this winsome debut, the son of Guess Who/BTO axman Randy Bachman makes infectious pop-rock that's closer in spirit to Badfinger than to his dad's blue-collar stomp. The younger Bachman's impeccably crafted tunes, from surging wide-screen epics ("She's So High") to bittersweet adult lullabies ("If You Sleep"), make this one of the most satisfying pop discs in recent memory. B+
