Cousteau's debut album is a collection of beautiful "torch songs" reminiscent of a Harry Connick, Jr. or Dean Martin style lounge act. While this isn't the kind of music I typically listen to, there is no denying its quality. Liam McKahey rich and soulful vocals coupled with the understated accompaniment is seductive. Liam turns the microphone over to the group's chief songwriter Davey Ray Moor for a couple of songs such as Mesmer with Moor sounding closer to Cat Stevens than Dean Martin, it offers a nice contrast to the other songs.
It may be a daunting task for this style of music to hit a critical mass here in the 21st century, Cousteau do the genre proud and offer up an album full of songs that are compelling enough to easily crossover to the adult contemporary charts. Who knows, Brian Setzer brought about the resurgence of Swing, Cousteau may just be the band that brings Traditional Pop back into the mainstream. It only takes one listen to know that the quality is there.
