The album is a power pop gem reminding you of '90s era Brit-pop mixed with a Steely Dan/Christopher Cross sensibility. The songs are mostly light-hearted breezy affairs led by Rodney's acoustic guitar and stellar voice. Highlights include "The New York Song," a ditty about the Big Apple an the confusion one feels when new to the city, "Springtime," a mellow-toned and harmony-driven track about getting away from it all, and "Just a Little Attention," a Tragically Hip inspired song about a girl needing some face time.
After a few listens you can't help but sing along to most of the songs as Echoes in all Directions is quite infectious. The Doddridge brothers have that special gift of mixing original ideas with the more popular trends from the last 30-plus years to bring a fresh uplifting listen for all but a few to enjoy.
