Listen to Charlie Mars

Those that appreciate Jack Johnson's hooks but can live without his west coast scatting should check out Charlie Mars' "Listen to the Dark Side of the Moon." The recording is spacious and each acoustic-style instrument supplies at least one great melody. Mars' lyrics can be a little too simplified (I know you're a good girl / you're not out to hurt nobody), but the tone of this song makes his words ring honest (if not marijuana induced). That being said, try your hardest not to follow any of the links in this review, because Mars clearly had some bad PR rep advise him to do the "seductive" dog tag white t-shirt thing (although he has landed a relationship with the hot Weeds star Mary-Louise Parker). If you can resist that temptation, you will appreciate this song in all of its subdued glory.
