Jason Falkner's solo debut arrived as a monument to the one-man-band tradition, the Jellyfish alumnus handling nearly every instrument with the effortless precision of a studio lifer half his age. Tracks like She Goes to Bed and Miracle Medicine split the difference between Revolver-era harmonics and alt-rock grit, earning reverential nods from critics while commercial radio yawned.

The album's fate as power pop's perpetual underdog hasn't dimmed its lustre among fellow musicians, who recognized Falkner as that rare songwriter blessed with both architectural ambition and melodic grace.
