Butterfly Boucher: Flutterby

I first heard Butterly opening for someone, I want to say Barenaked Ladies, at the FleetCenter in Boston a few years back. She was fun on stage, but I wasn't hugely impressed live. Maybe I just wasnt in the mood for her at the time. She kinda reminds me of a more-talented Bree Sharp, the more I think about.

The album starts out on a solid note, a tune Life is Short, which does a little ass-motivating, as the title may suggest. The rest of the album keeps a decent pace, moving around the emotional scale, but being mostly rockin'. The last track, "Drift On," seems to close the album quietly, but nicely.

A few other better-than-good tracks include "Another White Dash" and "A Beautiful Book."

In the end: I think this is a solid album many people could and can enjoy. It doesn't require you to enjoy a certain genre, it just is good music. Maybe you will, maybe you won't, its up to you.
