It’s little wonder why this artist has had multiple placements of his songs in film and TV. His material and recordings (“Life in Low Fidelity” for example) are consistently crafty and commercial. You get the impression he could write a complete song in no time. It certainly helps that Kibbee has a cool voice, and we especially like the range of his down & dirty growl on “Somewhere to Put My Gold,” which has his catchiest hook (though the song’s title is repeated ad nauseam). Another crafty and commercial tune is “Come Back,” which is an example of how Kibbee does not rely on a cookie-cutter formula––each of his songs has a significantly different character that makes it distinctive.
