Do You Have Prince Albert in a Can?

I've been a fan of Albert Hammond, Jr. for at least a year now. But, it came as a complete surprise to me to find out that he's also a member of The Strokes! (The same thing happened to me when I got into Thom Yorke and found out -- 'Hey! Radiohead!' And with both times, after knowing, it becomes SO obvious!) He mostly plays rhythm guitar with the band, but one song he does lead in happens to be one of my favorites, "Last Nite."

His debut album Yours to Keep was released in the UK in the late 2006. Here, we got it in March of 2007. Many music artists appear on the album with him, including Sean Lennon and Ben Kweller. What a coincidence, I've been playing the hell out of "Sundress" by Kweller lately. The record is definitely a goodie and some of his songs have been featured on popular tv shows. Most recently, "Hard to Live in the City" was heard on the show "Gossip Girl." It's got the whole rock n' roll thing goin' on along with some sunshine. Some say that his music isn't far enough away from The Strokes, but I disagree.

Favorite tracks from the album are "Everyone Gets a Star", "101", and "Hard to Live in the City". "101" was the first song I heard, and I loved it! If you haven't checked out Yours to Keep, give it a sample and see if you like. Reason being that he's supposedly coming out with a second album around April this year.
