Graham Colton plays straight-ahead, radio-friendly heartland rock that wears its debt to Counting Crows and Tom Petty on its sleeve. The Oklahoma City songwriter has some growing to do as a performer and composer, but his takes on the basic early-20s problems of falling in love and self-discovery have an honest, sincere charm. He might be best remembered for his song “Best Days” being prominently featured as exit music on American Idol in 2007 (an incredible honor for any songwriter), but lately he’s owning up to his developing maturity with a pair of EPs released this year: The coffee-shop-pensive Twenty Something and Pictures On The Wall, songs inspired by and written while on a recent tour.
