Singer-songwriter Edwin McCain's 2006 LOST IN AMERICA is a combination of old-school, big-gesture rock & roll and grainy Americana. The opener is a sardonic "Gramercy Park Hotel," while "The Kiss" is a radio-friendly love song, and "Babylon" is a sexy, riff-heavy, down-and-dirty salute to the artist's dark side, complete with over-the-top guitar solo. The title track would be at home on a John Cougar Mellencamp album, but it's no less catchy for that, and demonstrates that McCain has his heart and soul in the right place, in addition to accomplished songwriting skills.
