{U=za1Ga X %,;IW]a Glasgow's Ally Kerr does a nice line in pop songs and "Off the
vzaxi;S< Radar" provides us with the opportunity to enjoy 12 more of
{NE;z<,*: his little pop masterpieces.
)+w0NhJw 4$.UVW\ Opening the album is "Could Have Been a Contender" - all
(B]Vw+/ polished pop perfection that brings back memories of the
#=t
:xEz jaunty hits of the Housemartins and their catalogue of
snj4MA@
I] intelligent and catchy songs. "I Think I'm Bleeding" has an
9
J5Z'd_ underlying country flavour to it. Whilst once again presented
;
@Gm@d as a happy little song, there is more than a touch of
{br4B7b bitterness in his words. Funnily enough, the rather twee "The
AH=6xtS- Toothbrush Song" would also make a quality country song due to
z=)5M*h its dry lyrics even if a cowboy would feel the need to
"c\T accompany such emotions with bourbon rather than sparkling
d:sUh mineral water.
-]'Sy$,A ={maCYlE. The pace picks up with the title track "Off the Radar" that
`m'2RNSc+# truly highlights Mr Kerr's pop sensibilities and offsets his
#On1Q:d laidback vocal delivery with some spirited guitar. Loves lost
6oUT+^z# and won (mostly lost though? and a sense of reflection on his
;oR-\;]/. younger years seem a common theme to the songs in this album

<a<P and, indeed, regret is once more evident in "Is It Too Late to
u4+VG5.rhT Work for NASA" even if it is disguised here with wry humour.
