bob rylett -- this canadian-born neo-folk singer is either a genius of timing or a shameless opportunist. his latest cd, american dreams, comes with old glory splayed across the cover and contains dylan-esque devotions to lady liberty and the american way. oddly enough, the formula mostly works, with rylett summoning springsteen's angst and shawn mullins' habit of half-talking through his art. creative loafer magazine(butler)atlanta georgia
