Can't Let Go

BY Amanda AshPublished Jun 20, 2007

Liam Titcomb’s sophomore release, Can’t Let Go, is an album you’ll either swear you’ve heard before, or that Tom Cochrane and John Mellencamp had a hand in its making. Right off the bat you’ll notice the record’s heavy rock sound carefully infused with folk sensibilities, a trademark blending of genres that provides the record with an early ’90s nostalgic feel and pedal-to-the-metal momentum. "See Rock City” features the Torontonian unleashing his deep, grungy vocals with a few high falsetto notes, contrasting beautifully with the distorted clanging of drums and the subtle electronic undertones. "Take The Wheel” and "It’s You,” however, showcase Titcomb’s low-key pop attitude, as well as his astounding vocal capabilities. Can’t Let Go is, without a doubt, a very elevated, go-get-’em disc. If you’re into the energetic and elevated side of folk rock, Titcomb’s latest will most likely end up being your new road trip companion.
