The Thorns (2003)

The Thorns - 2003, Aware Records (Special 2 CD Edition)
 
  The Thorns have sadly only released this one solo album....and equally sadly is the fact that this album was not well liked by the public'!.   This is an album of beautifully crafted pop songs with some fantastic vocal harmonies and excellent songwriting.  In many ways this album feels like an ode to Crosby Stills and Nash with the overall harmonic approach.    The Thorns was the combined talents of 3 contemporary popmeisters....Matthew Sweet, Shawn Mullins and Pete Droge.
  The Special 2 CD edition of this album contains a second acoustic take on the album which is absolutely essential and often it is a toss up which disc I will play.

An excellent album
