CD Review – Dodd Ferrelle

Lonely Parades

2 Sheds Music

If there ever was someone who could do a spot-on Elvis Costello cover, it’s Dodd Ferrelle. His voice is like a carbon copy of Costello’s with a hint of Conor Oberst and Rhett Miller, especially on the remarkable upbeat title track. “Miss Bliss” sounds like it came directly from Oberst’s latest album, while “I Can’t Wait” is just a pure pop gem. Ferrelle has taken everything that is endearing about pop music, added a little flare, a little rock, and a lot of Costello to make an album that quietly one of the better summer albums to come out in quite a while.
