Words: Saam Das
I sincerely doubt that I've ever listened to a Barenaked Ladies album (even the one that had 'One Week') and to be honest, their latest album cover isn't exactly selling it to me. Nor is the befuddling 'Grinning Streak' title. Then again, feel-good album track 'Odds Are' is as good an advertisement as they can probably get.
'Odds Are' isn't beset by the burden of overcomplication but there's an enjoyable charm to its simplicity, which slants ever so slightly toward country-rock. It's also got a nice lyric video, which you can take in below. Thanks to Phil for pointing this one out to me.
