Can't say I've heard of the stubbly-chinned Timothy Drury before, but he sounds like a toughened veteran on this wondrously good debut release (at least I presuppose it's his debut). Musically he reminds me rather alot of the band New Frontier, and material along the lines of the best bits of Don Henley and Jimmy Ryser. Vocally he's more like a cross between Westcoast labelmate Tim Feehan and Jeff Paris. The majority of songs are acoustically based but they are far from lugubrious, as they're built up in some excellent tumescent layers to produce an excellent AOR sound. There's also the odd slight intimation of westcoast and country in the sound sometimes, but overall it's an AOR show all the way. The highlight for me is the fourth track "Kiss you like This" with its ardent hook and excellent variance of light and shade - that one is essential listening. A good introduction to a great talent.
