The Boomers - Midway

The Boomers have carved out a market for themselves with pithy, mid-tempo rock for the over-40 set. Ian Thomas, who may be even funnier than his brother Dave Thomas, of SCTV fame, has a knack for writing honest, humorous views of midlife. And this cleverly titled album contains some of his best, including the oh-so-bittersweet “Life Goes On.” But the best is “I Don’t Feel Particularly Old.” “When I look in the mirror,” he deadpans, “Keith Richards looks back at me.” Geritol for adult contemporary listeners.
