Shopworn as it may be, the Lennon-McCartney paradigm actually suits The dB's (Decibels, not Doobie Brothers), albeit with a new wave twist. Chris Stamey is the arty, angular one with the whiny voice; Peter Holsapple is the pop craftsman with the rootsy bent. They come from opposite sides of the tracks, but together, they're gonna clean up this town! Umm, I mean their songs alternate with a rare elegance, like cars merging symmetrically from two lanes to one without even a hint of horn honking. Umm, whatever on that too. Anyway, this one is Holsapple's, and it may be his best—two minutes of everything done right.The dB's - Big Brown Eyes
