Dwight Twilley - Twilley Don't Mind (1977)

Dude on the left looks like Michael Bluth until you think about it, then he doesn't any more. Turns out I'm not picky enough to write about Twilley Don't Mind. If I was pickier, I'd compare it to Sincerely and say that it doesn't rock as hard or have the same impact and sounds more like a good power pop album by a band rather than two guys overdubbing every component of their powery pop- synthesizing voice, instrument, hook, person into a single entity: Sincerely. I'm not picky though! I feel spoiled listening to an album with so many great hooks, and which at only 10 tracks, never threatens to lose my interest. Less Romantic in a rebellious handsome pop way, more band absolutely kills it on 10 tracks sorta way. And I don't mind.

Dwight Twilley Band - Sincerely (1976)

Where the artist intends for their songs to be throw-away, writing an album of disposable hooks so good they become quite the opposite: Electric Warrior, #1 Record, Cheap Trick at Budokan, Ramones, Sincerely

You hear I'm On Fire and think how's he gonna do that again? and then the little turns in Could Be Love declare YOU ARE IN THE HANDS OF A MASTER OF DISPOSABLE HOOKS, YOU CANNOT FUCK WITH ME

I'm Losing You is just delightful and if you can make it to TV, you'll probably forgive him for it

B+

delightful!
