A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Jason Lytle

  • Jason Lytle

Jason Lytle spent years fronting the chill, vaguely country-leaning Grandaddy, scoring some notice with “A.M. 180” and a couple of solid albums. But attrition killed the band, and Lytle picked up camp from California to Montana to embark, newly inspired, on solo material. The first results are excellent: Yours Truly, The Commuter re-grabs some of the strange spark Lytle first found a decade ago. Two years in the making, it reasserts Lytle’s strengths as a songwriter, sounding enough like Grandaddy to satisfy old fans while carving out a new pathway for him as a solo artist.
