Keith Moody - Dreaming Out Loud

I wasn't familiar with Keith Moody prior to hearing this album. Some of the press I read had him in the country - blues - Americana camp but I don't hear that sound all that much.  What I do hear is some fine rock & roll with a pop flair.  I mean that in a good way (lots of hooks and strong choruses) not in the bad American Idol way.  In particular I liked Long Way Up, Lay It Down Easy, One Big Ending and Red Line.  Very much worth a listen if you are a little starved for some rock music in 2012.
