In the Immortal Words of Edith Prickley on SCTV -- Could Be a Hot One!!!

The trailer(!) from Cal Everett's just released Weight of Early Promise...

...and a complete clip of one of the album's best songs.

This stuff is as impressive a slice of power pop craftsmanship as I've heard this side of The Lemon Twigs in years; when they say in the trailer that it's recommended for fans of Paul McCartney and Emitt Rhodes, they're not overselling it.

I must confess that I was previously unaware of this guy -- whose late 70s/early 80s band 4 Out of 5 Doctors is apparently highly regarded by genre afficianados -- but this is his first solo effort ever. You can find out more about him -- and check out the rest of Weight..., which is a 23-track pop opera concept record -- over at his official link HERE.

And may I just say, and for the record (as it were), that between this and the new Twigs album, 2026 is turning out to be a very good year for the kind of music that comprises the raison d'etre of this here blog.
