Summer Loving

Bob Cheevers

Cheevers' second effort since moving to Texas from Nashville in 2008 features collaborations with 14 local musicians, Warren Hood, Kevin Welch, and Will Sexton among them. Making music for more than 50 years brands Cheevers a veteran at the songwriting game, yet these Earth/Austin songs possess little spark to encourage repeat listens. Cited as a vocal Redheaded Stranger, "You Sound Just Like Willie" prompts a sly grin.
