There’s a timeless appeal to the Chicago quintet, fusing classic rock devotion with a devil-may-care energy that’s impossible to resist. The opening track to their third album Down In Heaven is effortlessly buoyant and made to stick around –- after repeat listens, it’s a lot less joyful than it immediately lets on. When it comes to the catchiest songs of this year, Twin Peaks’ “Walk To The One You Love” is easily high on the list.
This year’s edition of American Songwriter’s Top 50 Albums is presented by D’Addario.
