Jack Logan and Bob Kimbell are just a couple of guys with "regular" jobs who make music in their spare time. They've received praise for their albums from small fanzines as well as Rolling Stone, yet they still keep their day jobs. Logan and Kimbell are mining territory that was once the rule, but now sadly has become the exception: well-crafted, thoughtful melodic songs that are catchy and clever but have lots of heart. For those with a sense of rock/pop history, LITTLE PRIVATE ANGEL sounds like the (fictional) unreleased album by the trio of Neil Young, Ray Davies and Paul Simon. The songs are infectious, but in a very low-key manner-on first listen they may go over one's head but on repeated listens the melodic hooks catch you for good. This album has a refreshingly relaxed folk-like ambiance, which is a nice counterpoint to the smooth production that highlights the warm singing. Lyrically, the songs touch on materialism ("All About Money"), baseball ("Frozen Rope") and the death of a family member ("Marchin' With the Saints") in an intelligent, whimsical way. Unlike many rock or singer/songwriter albums, ANGEL feels like it's in the room with you.
