People who’ve had their fill of darkness in music, film, and TV could embrace Andy Kahrs, whose wholesome, feel-good vocal tone, and lyrics that, despite veering toward the superficial/cutesie, are nevertheless effective. “Nothing’s Sweeter Than Loving You” is a perfect example of Kahrs’ appeal; the song’s happy, carefree, mid-tempo pace is well-matched by the artist’s appealing voice, its soft, raspy texture. “Everybody’s In Town” celebrates friendship and camaraderie with a rousing call-and-response vocal chorus. And his cover of Glen Campbell’s  “Southern Nights” is altogether fitting, allowing Kahrs to honor the master with some agile fretwork. We urge Kahrs to hook up with a fun-loving lyricist.
