Cameron Dobb-The Ride.

This Vancouver singer-songwriter is a real talent. Self-described as the love child of Ben Folds and Tom Waits, there's truth-in-advertising there as his raspy voice is put in service of some great piano-based pop. "Hurricane" comes off just like that, with its insistent "Short People"-like piano chords, while slower numbers like "Justine" and "Safe" bring back fond memories of the Randy & The Bloody Lovelies disc I enjoyed so much a couple of years back. Other highlights include "Bee Sting" and the Folds-like "Sally Anne". Definitely a "Ride" worth taking.

Steve, Absolute Powerpop



The Ride" by Cameron Dobb is a collection of inspiring adult alternative pop/rock songs with creative arrangements, lots of layers and strong vocals. The musicianship and production are totally professional, including outstanding vocals. Each song is a new experience, keeping the CD interesting throughout. The lyrics are strong and the choruses are definite sing-alongs. Highlights are "Hurricane," which is certainly a song that defines the sound on the CD. "Bee Sting" has a beautiful guitar progression, builds to power and features a string section. "Safe" is harrowing and features some gorgeous piano work. You will thoroughly enjoy this outstanding album if you enjoy bands like Train or Ben Folds.

   Cameron Dobb - The Ride (High Pocket)

This is the debut album for this Canadian singer songwriter. Two years in the making, the songs have a light jazz feel to them and in some ways the style is similar to early Marc Cohn - the Walking In Memphis period specifically. A keyboard player and classically trained it shows in the arrangements especially "Bee Sting". He is obviously doing something right as the track "Goodbye Bad Luck" has been nominated for the Great American Song Contest. An album of varied material well played and arranged, I will watch his progress with interest.

“Justine” a timeless piano ballad that you could hear 20 years from now, rolling cascades of notes, every line a stolen Polaroid that combined paint a landscape you can almost touch, it’s an absolute gem.
