Operating under the moniker Innuendo, journeyman Brett Richey boasts a staggering resume of thousands of gigs. That deep, road-worn experience bleeds directly into his nostalgic ’70s and ’80s rock revivalism. “Smile for the Camera” juxtaposes gritty, throwback guitar work with modern lyrical references, effectively anchoring the nostalgia in the present day. Meanwhile, “Never Thought I’d Live To See The Day” provides an intriguing roller coaster of experimental arrangements. Richey’s vocals carry a compelling, weathered charm, even if they occasionally sound like they’ve hit a ceiling in terms of technical range. Still, the veteran grit keeps it engaging.
