There is an awesome review of the new CD posted at www.absoultepowerpop.blogspot.com

Here's what it says:

"It's always nice to write about a homeboy. Ted Lukas hails from Tampa, Florida, and is local power pop/alt-country royalty thanks to a resume that includes work in the great 90s band Barely Pink and more recently, the fine alt-country band Hangtown (whose most recent EP is an excellent listen, by the way). Now Lukas is out with his second solo disc, Misled, and it bridges the gap between his two chosen genres with great skill."

"OK with Everything" lets you know that everything will be OK on this disc, as Lukas fires up a rocker that's in the Matthew Sweet meets Steve Earle department; in fact, Lukas' vocals sounds like a cross between Earle and Terry Anderson (he of the Yayhoos and the Olympic Ass-Kickin' Team). The standout track is "Hearts Like Mine", a midtempo rocker with an easy melody and a hint of jangle. Elsewhere, "I Can't Believe" boasts a fresh, poppy chorus; the title track is an excellent roots rocker; and "Static Reaction" closes the disc in fine Pettyesque fashion. No hometown boost needed here - I'd recommend this disc even if Lukas were from Timbuktu or Togo instead of Tampa."

Ted Lukas Goes Solo
And Comes Up Misled
Published 02.13.08
By Wade Tatangelo

Misled
TED LUKAS
(Nine Alarm)

On hiatus from his alt-country outfit Hangtown, Ted Lukas delivers a commendable solo album that skews more power-pop than recent releases. Big hooks and memorable choruses are constants throughout. Sonny John Sundstrom offers meaty lead-guitar licks, while Mark Warren and Finn Walling also contribute ace ax work. Lukas' assured vocals, though, are always at the forefront, with the lyrics reading like a series of measured pep talks about not letting life get the best of you. Mature but never lacking verve or pop appeal, Misled rocks out with refined finesse. (tedlukas.com) 3.5 stars
