Album Notes

"You've been just about everywhere,except for where you oughta be," sings Trey Johnson,lead singer and principle songwriter of Dallas-based Sorta, on their second full-length offering, Little Bay. The line just about sums up the record, a restless romp through anxious, country-tinged alt.rock that evokes the solitary discontent of Exile on Main Street by way of Wilco's AM. The album builds slowly, from the acoustic opener "Sink or Swim," to the urgent, open-throated anthem "Tidal Wave." Wedged betwixt the two are a batch of tunes as well-crafted as any you're likely to encounter this year, the baleful drone of "Fallinlove," the bouncy Travis-picking of "To Jenny," and the tense jangle of "Christmas Day," among other choice tracks. Johnson's weathered vocals are those of a man who knows he can?t go home again; and if that meant he'd stop writing songs like these, here's hoping he never does.

Sorta is an alt-country (for lack of a better term) band from Dallas, Texas. I was turned on to this band by a friend who, like me, is hopelessly addicted to the music of the mighty Slobberbone (another Dallas-area band with similar roots). Little Bay is the kind of record that is great to listen to by yourself late at night with a bottle of whiskey or a few beers on the table. It is also the kind of record that is great to listen to with a loved one, sitting on the porch sipping iced tea and watching the sun go down. It is mellow in all the right places, and it swings in all the right places. The vocals are fantastic, the lyrics are fantastic, the production is fantastic. Mmm. I really want to see this band live. If anyone knows Sorta, tell 'em to come to Reno!
