Query: Sharp pop

When an artist dedicates his album to the memory of (Badfinger's) Pete Ham, and has a ringing endorsement from (The Raspberries') Eric Carmen printed on the CD overwrap, it's a pretty safe bet that you are about to hear some classic power pop. Sure enough, electric guitars jangle, acoustic guitars shimmer, and descending scale "Strawberry Fields" mellotron flourishes hum merrily all the way through Ken Sharp's "Happy Accidents". While the music is somewhat derivative, Sharp's upfront admission of influences and his obvious enthusiasm in recreating a late 60's-mid 70's British pop-rock sound wins you over. I should mention that Sharp's singing voice, while quite adequate, may take a certain period of adjustment for the listener (that's just my opinion...I could be wrong!). A perfect "summer album" for those who hanker for the halcyon days of 20/20 and the Three O'Clock.
