Artist: The StreetsTitle: A Grand Don't Come for Free
Year: 2004
Rating: ****½
Notes: This disc really grew on me. It's the kind of CD that gets more enjoyable the more you listen to it. There's a storyline in it, which isn't all that interesting in and of itself, but the way that Mike Skinner (who is The Streets) tells it makes it very intimate and intruiging. He is so informal and open with the audience that you can't help getting attached to him, which makes the disc more emotional than you would expect. This all culminates in the final track, "Empty Cans", which is very tender and even inspiring.
