Description
Despite winning England's esteemed Mercury Music Prize ten years ago, Brit rockers Gomez have descended into feel-good folk-rock. Though, that shouldn't surprise too many fans considering the band's been signed to Dave Matthews's label, ATO Records, since 2005. It also may explain why Gomez concentrates its U.S. tours on the jam-band circuit, where creative evolution has never been much of a concern. Alt-country careerists the Old 97's and Alejandro Escovedo open tonight's installment of the Taste.
