Ode To J. Smith

2008 album from the Scottish Pop act, their sixth album overall and a welcome return to the band"s harder sound. Travis return with an album laden with guitar pop gems less than a year and a half after their hit album The Boy With No Name. The music on Ode To J. Smith is gritty and arresting, while the production - which took just two weeks - gives the Scots a new lease on life that is sure to remind fans of their work during the 1990s. It"s their first record to be written on electric guitar since 1997"s Good Feeling and vocalist Fran Healy sounds as passionate as he ever did. Features the hit single `Something Anything". Red Phone.
