The only thing about John Ralston's album that I just don't like is the pink clouds in the cover art. I'm not into the pink clouds. I think they are silly, they remind me too much of cotton candy. And frankly, cotton candy is too sweet for cover art.
With that said, I love LOVE LOVE his music. "Needle Bed" was released on June 6, 2006. I think the best thing about these songs is the raw emotion put into them lyrically and musically. Ralston has been playing guitar his whole life, thanks to his mom, and it shows. In addition, he's not afraid to pour his heart out on paper and let us listen.
He shares the same record label as artists you should definitely be more familiar with including: The Lemonheads, Dashboard Confessional and The Get Up Kids.
Here is a link to his MySpace page: http://myspace.com/johnralston
A track for you: I Believe in Ghosts
Enjoy and if you've got the funds, I would definitely buy the album.
