The songs are punchy, polished pop with a noticeable twang, not far removed from the contemporary work of singer/songwriters like Graham Parker and Lindsey Buckingham. (I don’t know why I’m always taking out people’s brains and putting them in other people’s bodies.) Back From Rio sounds a lot like Tom Petty, or at least Tom Petty with Don Henley’s brain inside of him. I guess that’s the premise behind re-launching his solo career after so many years. McGuinn catches a little full moon fever in the not-quite-twilight of his career.
