Simple makes #17 on ABC News’ Top 50 of 2008

17. Andy Yorke: “Simple”

As the younger brother of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Andy Yorke has an uphill battle ahead of him. In the ’90s, he led the band “The Unbelievable Truth” and here on his solo debut he shows himself to be a stellar songwriter in his own right. He sounds like a less experimental, more folk-tinged answer to his brother. Even if his brother weren’t one of the biggest and most brilliant rock stars in the world, “Simple” would be worth your time and attention. Read my original review.
