Necktie Second

Pete Droge

Lived-in roots rock that bridges the gap between 70s songwriting and 90s alt-country. Warm, dusty, and laced with a sharp, self-deprecating wit.

It's the best Tom Petty album that Tom Petty didn't actually write.

A weary but witty travelogue through heartbreak and highways.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The dry, insistent cowbell and deadpan delivery that anchors the dark humor of track 1
The way the organ swells behind the acoustic strumming on Northern Bound Train, evoking a classic 70s folk-pop warmth
The sprawling, six-minute build of Fourth of July that captures a hazy, celebratory exhaustion
