-----------------------
Tom Hamilton is only in his mid-'20s, but the singer commands his nursery
of American Babies with all the seasoned know-how of someone twice his
age. Hamilton's band is positively huge, a co-ed family comprised of two
guitarists, a bassist, an xylophone virtuoso (!!), Mr. Hamilton himself, and
a solid drummer courtesy of the Benevento/Russo Duo. Such a lineup could
easily create a large, boisterous sound, but the American Babies apply a
"less is more" mentality to these rootsy, country-infused tunes. When Hamilton
strums his acoustic guitar, casually wails into his harmonica, and leads the
American Babies in another one of their wistful numbers, he channels a young
Gram Parsons (or perhaps a more sober Ryan Adams). And when the
American Babies wrap their three-part harmonies around Hamilton's twangy
baritone, it's not hard to see this group - and their young leader - enjoying a
career as lengthy as those aforementioned luminaries.
