Artist:  Kevin Devine

Album:  Put Your Ghost to Rest

iTunes Genre:  Alternative

My Rating:  8/10

Thoughts:  I've really enjoyed this album.  I like the relaxed sound, the inventive lyrics.  It's refreshing, in a sense.  I'm a fan of vague imagery in lyrics -- stuff where you kind of have an idea what it means, but you're not sure you could actually explain it to anyone.  I felt that way about a couple of these songs.  Downsides include a touch too much country.

Best Track: Go Haunt Someone Else
