It's about time someone created a political record without devoting
every song to mindlessly bashing George W. Bush. Eric Anders'
Songs For Wayward Days is an intelligent, mature EP that
matches literate lyrics with catchy songwriting. "A Man for
No Season" and "Warrior Kin" are downtrodden, slower
songs with strong choruses that cleverly express Anders'
distaste with his country's current government. "How Low
and Why" is the EP's more upbeat pop song - it's a tight
arrangement, combining a subtle 70s tendency with a modern
folk-rock flair. Whether you're politically motivated or not, it
should be easy to appreciate these three infectious, intellectual
songs. Congratulations to Anders for a thoroughly
satisfying CD.
