\"Eric<\/a> <\/p>\n

Diggin' listening to Mr. Hutchinson's<\/a> song lately…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/object> <\/p>\n

A review reads, "At first the album seems to merely mold itself into a genre that so
\nmany other modern artists have already shaped, from Jack Johnson and
\nJason Mraz to John Mayer and Ben Folds. This breed of music goes by any
\nnumber of classifications, but whether we call it singer-songwriter,
\nsandal rock, or blues-driven pop, the results are generally much of the
\nsame. Snappy choruses and bluesy piano or guitar chords are
\ncomplemented by pseudo-profound lyrics. The artists often relate their
\nsound to pioneers like the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Billy Joel, but
\ngenerally the music never lives up to the standard of its influences.
\nUnlike his contemporaries, Eric Hutchinson has broken through the
\nlimits of a stale genre and created a piece of pop that is refreshingly
\ninventive and uniquely soulful." – Elizabeth Newton of Pop Matters<\/a><\/p>\n
