I just gave "Hard Sun" a try, it was the "hit" off that album. It's a White guy problem song.
The world is hard (he even thought about killing himself), he has a great girl that he keeps leaving but she always takes him back. The guitar is lost somewhere between rock and country, if I were him I've pushed for a bit more country might have given this thing some soul. It's him singing alright, way toned down from PJ but it's his affectations, once again maybe he should have cut a little country. Pretty sure that I'd have a bad time seeing them live. I've been won over by bands that I didn't like going into a live show so who really knows (the opposite is true as well). I'm sure that ticket prices for them would be high enough and their opening band would never be tempting enough for me to give a PJ show a shot.
