Album Review
Straw Dogs' Hum of the Motor is a road album in the best sense of the term — just enough country, just enough rock, and just enough of a shimmering epic quality to evoke thoughts of highway journeys. David von Beck's songwriting is top-notch, and from the sunny, and a little sad, "All the Things," to the grooving "Blind Me Again," he employs a sound reminiscent of James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Ryan Adams. Dan Tyack's pedal steel really stands out, especially on the shuffling "Last Exit," a good ole country tune that has a lot in common with the material of the Los Angeles outfit I See Hawks In L.A.. Though von Beck hasn't yet developed a vibe as characteristic as, say, Eric Bachmann's of Crooked Fingers — yet — he's well on his way.

Good listening
by this man aroStraw Dogs is a better listen on those lazy rain uneventful days. While it takes a little getting used to, the reward is worth it in the end. The first half is the better half of this album however. If you like a combination of folk/rock/americana/acoustics/ and country, then these songs are worth it. Especially the first two.
Nope, that's not it!
by dequino67James Taylor?! Jackson Browne?! ACK! This is not the original Straw Dogs from Boston! I was lookin' for '30 Seconds Over Berlin', not this dreck. I like mellow country-tinged music, but this is pretty bad.
