YOU AM I – THE LIVES OF OTHERS

When you casually drop one of your finest singles nearly 30 years into your career it’s a great barometer for what comes next. That single, The Waterboy, opens album No. 11, where You Am I remind you they’re one of our finest rock bands. Rosedale Redux and Woulda Been Me recall their ‘90s peaks, Readers’ Comments marries a suave Kinks-esque tune to a modern tale of sadly knowing what everyone thinks, while Davey Lane’s relentless, lifelong commitment to melody shines on We All Went Deaf Overnight.
