Mike Doughty - Golden Delicious reviewed

Golden Delicious Mike Doughty ATO Records Rating: 3 stars (out of 5)

For those who don't know Mike Doughty as the former frontman of the indie-rock band Soul Coughing, or from his many solo albums since he left the group in 2000, TV fans will probably recognize him as "that guy on all the soundtracks."

Doughty's music has appeared on popular TV shows like "Grey's Anatomy," "Veronica Mars," "Bones" and "What About Brian." On his new album Golden Delicious, he has added some new musicians to juice up his normally stripped-down style and powerful baritone vocals that lend themselves well to soundtracks.

As a poet, musician and writer, Doughty's lyrics have always had a lot of depth, and Golden Delicious is no different.

His unique and interesting voice and wide range of songs about everything from falling in love to the War in Iraq provide a mix of old and new sounds and a solid dose of sing-songy "na na na nas" and "ding dingading dading dings" that will surely fit right into the beginning montage of the next episode of "Grey's Anatomy."
