Review of "Get On With It"

pix


@ iTunes
By: Ben Ohmart

letter ood things come in small packages. After all, anymore a cd shouldn't be a mere 32 minutes long. Especially when you like the music. But some things you can overlook because you like it. Bryon Thompson's latest effort, Get On With It, is one such exception. This is instrumental pop, fronted by a guitar. Yet the music is so fun and friendly, with its usual array of instruments, that somehow you don't think of it as a guitar album. If anything this is an instrumental release that walks the line between pop, rock and jazz (how many lines does that make?) as it pummels you with good feeling.

All of Get On With It is played by Bryon himself. If he produced and mixed it as well, applause, please. But just writing and performing all of this is enough to give untalented burks an inferiority complex. While he doesn't show off much, he does implement melodies that get trapped inside the brain easily enough. If you can't remember a tune upon one listen, or don't want to, you're riding the short bus home.

The songs remind me of what the Beach Boys should've done on those non-lyrical tracks of theirs in the early days. No, no spirit of surf music here, but a spirit of adventure and a delight for living. I'd rather hear that psychology than REM and the complaining kind any day.
