Warren Catlett ("Cat"), Radio Free Americana....

Sleepy Driver, led by front-man Peter Hicks, have released a brilliant debut album, "Steady Now", that reinforces the notion that much of the best American music comes from Canada.  "Steady Now" is chock full of highly accessible, radio-friendly songs with beautiful melodies and irresistible hooks.  The band's sound is guitar-driven, twangy roots pop that is edgier than, say, Blue Rodeo or the Bodeans, reminiscent of The Connells and like-minded bands from the golden age of college radio.  There is something for everyone to like on this album, which easily fits on Americana, AAA and college radio playlists.  Among many highlights is the leadoff track, "Like A Weapon", whose hook will most assuredly become lodged in your brain on the very first listen.  Peter Hicks and Sleepy Driver have a most promising future.....
