Check this out: For the month of March, Red Jacket Mine is the band in residence at the Hard Rock Café in Seattle - a distinction I find utterly baffling. Leaving this fact alone for a second, let's consider the band. Red Jacket Mine is an assembly of pop craftsmen, a group that creates radio-ready pop rock so friendly and easygoing that it's easy to pass it by without second thought. However, Red Jacket Mine's chops and know-how reveal themselves upon repeated listen. I must say, though, I knew the "hard rock" part of the Hard Rock Café's band in residence distinction was fairly obviously a misnomer - but this is ridiculous. Wrapped in the warm embrace of this genial pop of Red Jacket Mine, hard rock is the last thing on my mind. And that's not such a bad thing. - Rev. Adam McKinney
