Everybody likes a breath of fresh air. From the mountains, from a mask, or on the radio. Well Montreal, Canada pop rocker Sam Roberts is a breath of fresh radio air where his pop music nuggets hit his hockey-loving compatriots like a chinook blasting off the side of the Canadian Rockies.
There is pop rock majesty abound on his debut We Were Born In A Flame, from the childhood reminiscing of Every Part of Me -- Ride our bikes on into town For some hockey cards and whatever trouble may be found to the relevant social comment of Brother Down. To coin a baseball analogy, the kid can hit them all over the field, but more often than not, they are out of the park. HOME RUN ROBERTS! The kid's got IT. No doubt.
