Albert Hammond Jr. – Como Te Llama

 

03 Lisa
Albert Hammond, Jr.

This is Mr. Hammonds sophomore album and I’ve got to say, it’s pretty good. Then again, I am biased. Albert Hammond Jr. is my favorite member of the Strokes, or I should say, would seem like less of an a-hole. Don’t get me wrong, I like all their albums, but they just don’t seem like nice dudes. I don’t know, I’m probably wrong. Anyway, I have always liked him and I really loved his 2006 debut album Yours To Keep (which I also wrote about ^.^).

This time around, it does seem like he’s having a hard time fixing on a “sound”, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the album isn’t good. Perhaps he’s just trying to distance his own sound from his other band. But I wouldn’t have found anything wrong with that. Sounding like the Strokes that is. So yeah, I picked the song Lisa and I hope you like it too.

So go ahead and pick up a copy of Como Te Llama today. It’s out today

 actually. I wanted to do this a couple of days ago, but I’ve been too busy. So just in time right? Oh, and about a week ago I was at his webpage and it’s got this little feature where you can add your picture to the checkerboard background. Well it’s pretty much filled up now. I don’t know, I thought that was a cute idea. So here is the song I picked and a few links to follow. Commence enjoyment!

Oh yeah! Tour Dates!! go check him out ladies and gents.
