CUFF THE DUKE - Sidelines Of The City

Following singer Wayne Petti's tender solo album earlier this year, Cuff The Duke return with a third record that rests somewhere between the earnest straight-and-narrow of Blue Rodeo and Wilco's detours. If these references aren't exactly original, the songs are of strong quality--minus a couple slight lyrical missteps, this record is full of solid tunes and Petti's voice delivers them perfectly. "Remember The Good Times" should by all rights be a hit radio single (if those things existed anymore) and the band plays with a trained ear for loving detail.
