    The insanely talented 19-year-old Andrew Collberg composed, arranged and played all the instruments on his home-recorded debut disc, including drums, organ, harmonica, banjo and guitars, plus lots of special effects. The all-original set is a wonderfully integrated but varied, grit-pop romp around the edges of country and blues. Theres some Dylan flavor, although Collbergs phrasing seems often to run from Beatle to Beatle. The real gripper is the unexpected gravitas in his lyrics, in which a recurring theme is sleep the lack, seduction, and/or dread thereof and related bouts of drinking. Back To You is a unique, believe it or not, take on a breakup song. Come Home With Me lovingly evokes cobblestone-and-cathedral memories of Collbergs Swedish birthplace.
