On Golden Smog's first full-length outing, the Midwest roots-rock supergroup goes beyond its cover band beginnings to create a charmingly relaxed album. Consisting of mostly original material by Gary Louris (Jayhawks), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Dan Murphy (Soul Asylum) and Kraig Johnson (Run Westy Run), MAINSTREAM is the sound of a bunch of guys having fun and penning some great songs to boot. This laid-back vibe is heightened by the band members' pseudonyms, which were created by substituting their first names with middle names and their last names with hometown street names. "V" and "Won't Be Coming Home" alone are worth the price of admission, and would have fit seamlessly onto the Jayhawks' TOMORROW THE GREEN GRASS. Other highlights include "Glad & Sorry," "She Don't Have To See You" and "Radio King." Even the sugary "Pecan Pie" and goofy "Red Headed Stepchild" add to the enjoyably loose feel of this down-to-earth album.
