'101,' Albert Hammond Jr.

The Strokes guitarist may have done hard time in New York, but, on his debut solo single, the son of the man who gave us 'It Never Rains in Southern California' shows us where he left his heart. Ditching Big Apple grit for a breezy guitar riff that begs to be blared from a convertible, Hammond sets this hazy, melancholy love story on the United States' westernmost highway. Plenty of melody, no rain.

This is just incredible. The Stokes would be pleased sounding more like this.

Definetly one of the best songs off of one of the best albums of the year. Albert Hammond Jr. is great with or without The Strokes.
