Even if he’s too mellow for you, at least give him credit for promoting the surfer life as much as the Beach Boys. At this rate, he’s gunning to replace Kenny Chesney as Jimmy Buffet’s heir apparant for the endless summer crowd. He’s at least likable, which is a plus for adult contemporary rock, but if he really did want to make good on surf music, he should sneak in “Wipe Out” or “Church Key” into his set now and then.
