Neil Finn - One Nil

Fans of clever, mellifluous pop mourned the 1996 loss of Australia’s Crowded House, a trio that created more memorable music over the course of four albums than most artists can dream of producing in a lifetime.  Two years later, the man behind those songs got back in the game with Try Whistling This, an overlooked solo debut than contained at least two instant classics: “Addicted” and “She Will Have Her Way.” With One Nil, Finn has scored another winner. Featuring guest appearances by ex-Prince girls Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, the album contains such melodic gems as “Anytime” and “Secret God” and again proves Finn a pop genius with few equals.
