About This Item
Don't Let Go, the third from The Airport 77S, finds the DC trio stretching further beyond their power pop roots with a collection of songs that veers from wistful to exuberant. For this record, guitarist Andy Sullivan and drummer John Kelly have recruited veteran bassist Cal Everett, who brings a McCartney-esque sophstication to the group's bottom end. You'll find the 77's signature eighth-note chug married to a robotic groove on InchLike Falling in LoveInch; full-throated AM AOR on Inch1999 (Take Me Back)Inch and InchAnyone But YouInch; and InchMake 'Em Pay (Don't Make It Easy), an outlaw ballad in the tradition of Robert Earl Keene and Townes Van Zandt.
