Ahhh, she saxophone... The Sean Connery of musical instrumentation. In the late '90's and early 2000's there was this belief that any crappy movie could be made better if only Sean Connery was in it. Studios figured this out and it worked for a bit until audiences eventually realized that Sean Connery equals suckfest, making him redundant and leaving us with movies like LXG. In the '80's the same thing happened with the saxophone and well, nothing blows like the saxophone. I can think of one band that successfully used the sax / alto sax (whatever...) during this time and the name of that band that was Morphine (rip Mark Sandman). I hate to admit this, but the sax and the way it's used on this album is a nice add. There aren't any overpowering sax solos, and instead employs some lax toots to carry the rhythm thru. The Zutons are unconventional (and not overtly British) and that's what I like about them. David McCabe's vocals are strong enough to carry a tune without support but isn't above throwing some gutteral ahahhyahh's here and there. This album plays like a bridge from the dirty 60's hippie rancor to thoughtful backroom western saloon and all the way back to Williamsburg. Overall it's a decent find that I was happy to explore.
