Craftsmen that they are, Hanson are sharp enough to keep things tight, the songs and the album itself never lasting any longer than necessary, but the music itself is too finely honed.
-
Most white guys who aim for Ray Charles end up like the Blues Brothers, but on effusive tracks like "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'," Tulsa's favorite siblings simply sound liberated.
-
Other than the trio's weakness for trite turns of phrase, the major flaw on Shout It Out is its spit-polished production....What's encouraging about the record, though, is that Hanson's instincts are more or less on point.
