Editoral Review But that's where their similarities end. Is Jeffrey Gaines the real deal or Elvis Costello redux? On the Pennsylvania singer-songwriter's third full-length release, his subtly soulful vocals often echo those of the esteemed Elvis. While his hero's cynical wordplays circle the romantic cul-de-sac, Gaines's rock-tinged pop takes a cautiously optimistic tone. He speeds freely on the freeway of love, but remains mindful of the potholes. Whether backed by studio hotshots (including members of David Bowie's touring outfit and ex-Springsteen E-Streeter David Sancious) or a string section, Gaines's supple songs shine. --Michael Evans ..
