“Better Day” is the sound of a band becoming more than the sum of its parts. The members of Continental Drifters have impressive musical pedigrees, with former members of The Bangles, The dB’s and The Cowsills on board.
On 1999’s brilliant “Vermillion,” they lived up to their heady promise. “Better Day” is every bit as good as “Vermillion” if not as immediately addictive. The songs are ultimately uplifting and the music is rootsy, but full of the type of pop hooks that keep the tunes resonating hours after the album is over.
